Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

I had a look at the additional steps and still can't get a sexy female voice to say anything :(

I might have done something incorrectly in the first part. I wasn't sure if i chose the correct mbrola file or if I made it executable properly or not, so that could be it.

I guess if you guys want me to change any of the espeak arguments etc, let me know. Its currently structured like this
eg -v en -a 100 "hello world"

I only konw that, for my n900, on x-term, I type:

espeak "text"

and it gives me the nice female voice(after setting up the symbolic link), Does your espeak setup work at x-term?

thanks

I've downloaded the italian voice file and it runs fine. Does it crash with any errors? Do you have espeak installed? Also try running it from the xterm and let me know of any significant output :)


Also I should mention that I've sent a new version (0.1-13) which includes a "Default" language selection option for espeak, which does not use the -v lang argument, hence will allow for modified espeak/mbrola to work.

the app doesn't start for me. While running from xterm I get segmentation fault

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

****ing segfault. I can never figure out why they occur. The code will run flawlessly 100 times then randomly segfault for no reason while I'm testing.

Unfortunelty due to the shittyness of Qt and developing on the N900, I have no clue how to fix the segfault without debugging the program on your particular N900. And even then it will most likely **** out another segfault with no explanation. If you have nokia Qt sdk set up, give the code a try, otherwise I'm sorry. I will try look through the code in the startup section and see maybe, but I can't promise anything :( sorry again.


Edit: If your going to block ****, why not shittyness? Guess my spelling is horrible even the forum software can't understand it.

It seems that there is a bug in the last version of index.html that prevents location search

in line 35164 we have this code:
searchURI: "http://localhost:9999/",//http://where.s2g.gate5.de/nsp?db=places",//Search!!

searches are being launched against localhost so the error "Search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." is alwais being reported

if the line is restored to:
searchURI: "http://where.s2g.gate5.de/nsp?db=places",

search works again

a big thank you for all the work done

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

This isn't a bug. It was done intentional. It allows the searches to go through the omvoiceserver and be logged, as well as be saved if required. If you search for your home, then under OMVS under the last search tab, you can save the search as poi-home. Then everytime you want to go home, in ovi maps, search for poi-home and it'll go there without the need for internet.

If you prefer to have ovi maps do the searching itself, then you'll need to revert the change as you mentioned :)

I have updated omvoiceserver (my installed version was not the last) and all works correctly now

thanks

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

Although the ovi maps are pretty good, I think that the ovi maps route calcuations for cases I knew the best way to go, in terms of travel time and distance were not very good. On closer inspection it appears as if the route calcuation algorithm had a tendency to pick the major roads over the more local ones even though you had to go way out of your way. So I was wondering, as some other packages have this feature, does ovi maps allow for you to select routing algorithms? Are there ways of implementing other algorithms?

Thanks for everyones contributions.

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

Ovi maps does allow route algorithm changing, however its a bit hidden. You need to open the Directions box then choose the car icon and then select the mode. It also allows for other settings such as avoiding things.
