I know the answer is probably no, but I'm wondering why. As I understand it the voices are the main selling point of the Tom Tom devices. One of them is Kit form Night Rider for cryin' out loud. I don't even know if you could get those files, or if they're locked up in some internet vault somewhere, but it would be cool to use them even if we had to make them our selves.

BTW: I see lots of complaints about how long it takes to get a GPS lock, and lots of work arounds. I get almost always GPS lock in 2-5 minutes without a-gpsd or anything else. Here's how I start the default gps daemon manually from yhe settings screen, clear the last location and refresh. That gets a lock pretty quickly. It's not instant on, but I can tolerate it. Then I open Maemo Mapper with the GPS daemon still running, and Mapper syncs up to that almost instantly. I don't know if I'm doing it differently than anyone else, but I haven't read that anyone has said to do it this way.
I live on the southern edge of a small city, but in the shadow of a very large hill that is south of me. If I'm not near the hill, GPS lock is much faster. Everyone probably already knows all of this, so feel free to ignore it if you like. I'm just new here.

Maybe you could if you find a way to extract those from where ever they are.

As far as I know the voices are handled completely differently in MaemoMapper and TomTom. TomTom does have limited set of pre-recorded instructions, such as "Turn right", etc. while MaemoMapper gets the driving directions as written sentences downloaded from Google. TomTom just plays the pre-recorded voice files as needed, while MaemoMapper "reads out loud" the text that Google service has given using flite speech synthesizer. Therefore it is not possible to transfer the TomTom voices to MaemoMapper.

In case of Navit, it may be possible to use TomTom voice files in the future. (Depending when Navit adds support for voice guidance.)

EDIT: Navit may already have voice quidance support, based on the speaker icon as seen on display, but I haven't tried it.

Yeah, MM can't use TomTom files, but if you can get the "voice" config, I'm sure that'd work, assuming it's in a standard voice data format.

I have no idea what the voice format is that they use. I just know that Tom Tom can sound like Knight Rider.
