Hi Amro,

It sure must have been a very-long time since you last checked. LOL!

You're correct, Rockbox does not have a TTS engine, but you can make
your files able to be spoken by running one of two included utilities
on our players to generate a very-small .talk file for each.  In the
abscence of a .talk file, one can set up Rockbox to either say
nothing, spell folders and files, or assign them a number.

Take a listen to our demo, which can be found on:
http://www.talkingmp3players.com/uploads/2/0/4/6/2046538/talking_rockboxed_sansa_e200_series_player_demo.mp3

You will hear the folder and file names being spoken in that
demonstration.  And to correct what someone else said earlier, it
doesn't matter how complex the file name is.  As long as one generates
a .talk file for it, it will be spoken on the player.

Regards,

Laz

David, that does sound very good about those Sonsa players. Out of
interest though, does Rockbox now read file names? I remember when I
last checked quite a while back that Rockbox did not have a TTS
engine, thus, it reads file names letter by letter. Is that still the
case?
Cheers,
Amro
