How do computer voices work?
Your TomTom ONE XL•S makes use of text-to-speech technology to
generate computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for
example an instruction like "Turn right", into the sound of a human voice.
The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the
sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also
able to recognize and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street
names. For example, the English voice can read French street names.
Note: If you select a Human voice, this will only be able to announce
commands, but not street names. If you would like street names to be
announced, you will need to select a computer voice.
