    Navitel Voices

    We all know that there are many Garmin Voices out there, in fact in the recent poll, English (aussie) Karen was the winner! Though there were many people who did use a custom voice.

    Which leads me to this post.

    1. I tend to like the softer spoken voice of Karen, so in Navitel I search for some English voices. Found them here: Navitel Custom Voices

    Now I am using British Voice.

    2. Recently though I was able to test the Yoda voice on my Garmin, and it was a Hoot! The kids were laughing as well. Which made me search for info on how to make custom Navitel voices.

    Actually it is not so difficult, because Navitel supports *.wav which means it is way easy to make custom voices for Navitel, just record using a mic and your PC to a wav file and just put them all in one folder and load to voices in Navitelcontents.

    Below is the info that shows the list of all the things needed said and the file name you have to use. Posted by Akwangu of NavitelAsia. Navitel Forum

    5.wav --> 5
    6.wav --> 6
    7.wav --> 7
    8.wav --> 8
    9.wav --> 9
    10.wav --> 10
    11.wav --> 11
    12.wav --> 12
    13.wav --> 13
    14.wav --> 14
    15.wav --> 15

    19.wav --> 19
    20.wav --> 20
    30.wav --> 30
    40.wav --> 40
    50.wav --> 50
    60.wav --> 60
    70.wav --> 70
    80.wav --> 80
    90.wav --> 90
    100.wav --> 100
    200.wav --> 200
    300.wav --> 300
    400.wav --> 400
    500.wav --> 500
    600.wav --> 600
    700.wav --> 700
    800.wav --> 800
    900.wav --> 900

    And a few more (added in Navitel version 3.2):
    kilometers per hour - kmh.wav
    excess speed (speed too high) - speed.wav
    speed way too high! - speed!.wav
    tunnel - Tunnel.wav
    dangerous crossroad - warning_crossing.wav
    sleeping policeman [speed bump] - warning_pol.wav
    bad road [quality -- i.e. not so good for driving] - warning_road.wav speed limit - warning_speed.wav
    speed control [i.e. checking, aka radar device] - warning_speedlim.wav dagerous turn - warning_turn.wav
    be attentive! - warning_other.wav

    Note:
    Sampling frequency should be no more 16 kHz (PCM 16 bit 16 kHz mono).
    The 22.5 ?Hz is too large for human speech, but increases package/memory size and causes small pauses while playing from slow flash card memory.

    In would be nice to keep uniform pronouncation, volume and speech rate.
    Commands should sound as imperative (e.g. 'Turn left'), and all other phrases - as declaration (e.g. 'Connected to satellites'). Volume should be so much to use about 70% of maximum; of course fuzz distortion is to be avoided.

    The good practice is to record all wav files in single session - this provides uniform sounding. To avoid non-natural sounding of numbers (i.e.
    out of context of whole sentence), they should be recorded as part of corresponding whole sentence, and then trimmed.

    Silence in the very beginning and very end of each wav should be truncated.

    Great post! This gives some variety to our fave GPS tool. I was able to download somewhere an English version with a Latina accent (ala Penelope Cruz / Sofia Vergara). Actually very funny.

      Could you post the link to where we can download the English Latin version? Would be a nice change

        I lost the link already but here is the voice file.
        Just unzip, then save in the NavitelContent/Voices folder.
        Then set in the Settings->Regional Settings->Voices.

        Enjoy!
