Usually the biggest problem that our users have is that the speech synthesizer (TTS) is not working. This is because many manufacturers do not include it in their version of Android, is not a problem that our applications are wrong. To install the voice synthesizer recommend the following options:

 

  • For version 2.1:Go to page http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/downloads/list and download packages “tts_3.1_market.apk” and “com.svox.langpack.installer_1.0.1.apk”. Install them on the device.

  • From version 2.2: Go to “Settings> Voice Input and Output”, click on “Settings speech synthesis” and then “Install voice data files.”
