Re: [OSM-talk] Spoken street names

[John F. Eldredge]

This would be only semi-successful on English-language names, since 
English has loan-words from virtually every other language on Earth, and 
many of those words don't fit the general English phonetic rules.

For many names that should work I think, at least when the right

That, on the other hand, could be hinted by using the corresponding

I've yet to find a product for Windows Phone that does TTS.  Navmii does it
only on Android and Ios.  Maybe Scout does but it is not available in
Australia.
OsmAnd (and the $8 upgrade OsmAnd+) is brilliant. The offline maps and
offline Wikipedia POI's make this a must have item for all tourists. Once
the developers put a 3d navigation screen in it, it will be ideal for all
hire cars in the world.

I have tried OsmAnd and Magic Earth on Android and Magic Earth on IOs and
they seem to work well, althouth Magic Earth did some crazy routing.  I
will compare the same route on OsmAnd Magic Earth and Garmin (OSM maps) and
OsmR to see if it is a data problem or routing issue.

I still haven't got Navmii to use TTS on Windows-phone but have contacted
the vendor.

I tried Mapfactor on windows-phone but couldn't get TTS to work. - will try
again tonight on windows-phone and android.

There is also Mapfactor Navigator [1], they do have a free version as
well.I didn't like their "announcements" for highway exists as much as
OsmAnd's.

p.s. I find spoken street names not so interesting. In Belgium (and
many countries around it) the street names are only indicated within
the street itself, so after you made the turn. It would be better if
the destination tags where spoken all the time, not only on
higways/motorways.

  Maybe because it has a nickname CRAPS.ME and lots of mappers hate it? :-)

Forgot mentioning it is sold as a premium feature. Sorry.
Could not try it.

Re: [OSM-talk] Spoken street names

I've already tried Navmii on my windows phone. I like it a lot but it
doesn't do TTS (Spoken Street names) - as far as I can tell.

I've tried scout on my iPhone (a few years ago - overseas) . From memory,
it did TTS but let itself down in late turn announcements. Also you can't
purchase the software and I'm not interested in renting it.

Osmand only seems to work on Android so I'll have to go out and buy a cheap
android phone tomorrow.

This is all so I can recommend OSM to others. For myself, when driving I
use a garmin device with routable OSM maps from openmapchest and of course
the garmins all have TTS. When walking I don't require TTS so any software
is good enough.

​It just tells you where to turn, sadly it doesn't tell you the name of the
street. Hopefully they add that soon.​

Speakig of that, I have MAPS.ME installed on my Android and it's
supposed the app has a voice navigation system but it doesn't work. Any
thoughts on that?

Is there any navigation software (for a Mobile phone) that uses offline OSM
