Where do I find TTS-synthesized voice packs to download from PC?

[Yuxiang Wang]

Hi all,

I have a quick question - 

It is stated in the wiki that though only 10 downloads can be used in the app, unlimited downloads are available from PC, from the link:

http://download.osmand.net/rawindexes/

However, on the link above, I only see maps and recorded voice packs. I cannot find the TTS-synthesized voice packs. Could anyone please help me on this?

Thanks!

The tts ones are automatically included in the OsmAnd apk during build. Only when they get updated (due to a bug or improvement) before another Osmand version is released, you might need to download them.

You can simply select one of the supported tts versions in the voice guidance under Settings->Navigation-><navigation mode>->Voice guidance.

Harry,

Thanks for the prompt response! 

In my Data Management Tab -> Upload offline data, my TTS Voice is blue and indicating that there is an upgrade, so I was curious. In that case, that is something I can ignore, I assume?

Hi Harry,

I think I know what's happening now... And I think it's a bug.

0) I have an external SD card (/sdcard1), and have an internal SD card (/sdcard0).

1) When I installed OsmAnd~, the default location is /sdcard0. So, /sdcard0/omsand/voice/en-tts/_ttsconfig.p was created.

2) I set the data folder to be /sdcard1, and then downloaded the map. The program cannot locate /sdcard1/omsand/voice/en-tts/_ttsconfig.p because the file was never created; therefore, I redownloaded the latest voice pack on /sdcard1

3) However, the program scans the folder of /sdcard0, and prompts me to update the tts package. I updated, but that does not change the files in /sdcard0. So it keeps showing blue and can never turn green.

Essentially I think that's what happened... It's a really trivial thing. Thought it's fun to find out why, and good to report a bug!

Sorry for the repeated posting.

I dived into the code, and it seems this is all fine in the latest plus version. Probably it is just a bad download link... I don't know, and I will report again if this comes up. Please ignore the above post for now.

PS: Personally, I think put all the data files all in one place, including tts voice files, are nice and can reduce confusions. But I do believe that there's a reason for the team not to do this... Could you please give me a hint on why that is not what we are currently doing?
