I have upgraded to the latest edition. Did the license upgrade, installed it, and the voice is not showing up in my settings. I have reinstalled it to no avail. After reinstalling it, everytime I start up Copilot, it goes through the installation of the TTS. My license is showing it is active. But when I go into voices, I only see John and Lisa. Before I upgraded, I was able to see the voice option, but obviously it did nothing. Help!

Hi Edwin,

We’ve looked into your original order and you should be receiving an email from my colleague with your Upgrade Product Key Code.

If you need any additional help, just ask!

Hi, Devon. I installed the TTS file last week and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working until I read this forum. I have the latest version of CoPilot 8.0.0.620. What I can’t seem to locate is the original email with the Upgrade Product Key Code so how do I go about getting it resent?

Thanks,
Edwin

Hi TC,

TTS stutters are usually caused with the device’s CPU/RAM is running low.

TTS needs at least 4MB of free memory. The more memory available though, the better. If you have a lot of other applications installed on the device it may help to remove some to free up memory.

Another thing you can do is to check the storage card CoPilot Live is installed on. If the quality of the card is not good, when the device reads it, it could slow the TTS down and cause it to stutter.

I hope this helps the issue.

Regards,
Devon

Thanks for replying Devon. I tried v8.0.0.620 over the weekend and stuttering were still there. Might it have something to do with my device only have 128MB RAM? I have an HTC Athena x7500 with around 50MB free RAM when running CoPilot. I searched around and it seemed all the high-end devices with 250+ MB encountered no problem at all. Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

We may release more TTS voices in the future, as of right now we don’t have anything planned though. Have you tried Eleanor under UK English?

Regards,
Devon

Will there be more voices made available at some point that are Text to Speech?

Verizon Touch Pro2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 update and HTC’s Sense UI turned off.
Running straight CoPilot Live 8 with the TTS update and no problems at all.
