Tim Wilson's Voice?

 
Fri, 07/25/2008 - 11:37pm

I just saw a post in another thread that mentioned buying Ozzy's voice for his GPS. Was just talking with my family today about how much fun could be had with the voices. Didn't realize it was possible but then duh! I got a little bitty computer telling me where I am on the planet's surface so why not custom voices?

Are they available for Garmins and if so, where are the best sources?

And can I get Tim Wilson's voice (comedian who is often a guest on the Bob & Tom show)? They have a great sketch with him playing a GPS voice.

TIA,
Air

Nevermind, I should have Googled before posting!! It's late.

No Celeb Voices for Garmin

Celebrity voices are a TomTom thing.

Voices

There are several things that can be done with Garmin GPS voices. Non TTS voices can be made with many methods, TTS voices can be manipulated but only in certain ways using the existing voices. If you want to spend the time to research and create your own, do a search on voices on this site, you will be led to the method that best serves you. There is a website that sells custom garmin voices, It was pointed out in a previous thread, again, do a search.

I missed the TomTom only part .. . .

Thanks for the replies. Custom voices would be fun but not something I can tackle right now.

Thanks again,
Air
