Marie,

I think it is possible, because when I upgraded to the latest firmware I had
the choice of downloading the American samantha voice, the American tom
voice or the English Daniel voice.

What you do is download to your pc, unzip the file, put the unzipped version
onto an sd card, put the card into your Stream and turn it on and the update
is carried out.

What I will do is try to find the English and the French download on the
Humanware site.  If they are both available to download, then I cannot see
any reason why you can't do it.

I know nothing of having two voices on the Stream at one time.


David

If that is possible, it would be the answer but I'm not sure it is as the
text to speech probably resides on the player itself and not on the SD card,
but I would be very pleased if it was not the case. Will have to mail the
manufacturer and see what they suggest and submit that idea to them.

Thank you.

Marie
