Hi all, Installed Google translate and it prompted me to install TTS (Text to speech extended) Clicked on it and takes me to market place...However, It says app not found :thinking:

Searched for the add on, on Appbrain...and again, tried to install it on phone but again it says not found :thinking: :)

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
I am new to Android and am having the same problem with Google Translate. The application installed fine but when I start it asks to install Text-To-Speech Extended, I press the install button and it says asks me to install the text-to-speech (TTS) library. If I presss the "Install the TTS" button it takes me to Android Market with a screen saying "There are no matches in the Android Market for the search: pname:com.google.tts"

The weird thing is, I have Text-To-Speech installed already, it installed when I used Navigation for the first time. I am able to go to the Text-to-speech menu in the settings menu and the example plays fine.

Does anyone know what the problem is and if there is a solution?

Thanks

You can download and install the TTS extended on your own.

Go HERE or HERE and download the file. Use Astro Manager to install it from your SD card.

I have a bit of a different problem with TTS Extended. I get this message when starting services like Google Translate:

"Remove TTS Extended

You're running a stale TTS Extended library on an incompatible platform. This would potentially cause problems for TTS enabled applications.

You can get a newer eSpeak Engine in the application settings.

Would you like to remove it now?"


And when I try to remove it, it is "unsucessful" Any ideas??

For everyone having problems downloading text-to-speech on their phone because it says 'no matches found', go into 'settings' then 'voice input and output' then 'text-to-speech settings'. At the bottom of the menu 'Pico TTS' select your country and download the speech application. It will install text-to-speech and no more messages should put up on your navigation.

Let me know if this helps.
