I'm not sure if this is the correct group -- please redirect me if I should post this elewhere.
I'm using Google Translate on HTC Desire running Android 2.2. When tapping on the speaker icon to listen to translations from English, e.g., into French, the spoken words are not French at all. The words are indeed "spoken", but heavily anglicised, as you might expect from someone who has never seen or heard French -- complete mispronunciation. The desktop version of course works fine, and speaks the translation correctly in whatever language should be used. I can't remember if the mobile app did work correctly originally, but I think it did. It hasn't been working correctly for quite a while now, but I couldn't say exactly how long -- a few months at least, though. I installed eSpeak TTS fairly early on in my ownership of the handset, and recently that started acting up (speaks *very* slowly, and needs to be set to very fast speech rate to sound even fairly normal and, when used with Google Navigate, it speaks a list of XML web links (!!??), rather than the actual directions, and I have no idea where those links would have come from). I have uninstalled eSpeak TTS, but it makes no difference. I also had VLingo installed for about 6 weeks, but uninstalled that when it conflicted with Svox Classic, which I installed yesterday, so the culprit couldn't be either of those. I acn understand that Svox can't cut it, because I have only one voice installed (a UK English female), but the gross mispronunciation is also present when pico TTS is selected as the engine, and was present before Svox was installed. What am I doing wrong? I'm not keen on doing a factory reset if it can be helped! Thanks Anton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
