Motorola MotoTrbo Manage Voice Anouncement

[HT600]

I am trying to add .wav files to the voiceannounement folder in my CPS.

I created an MP3 file with a text to speech app then converted it to a .wav file and saved it into the CPS' voiceannouncement folder.

When I try to load the voiceannouncement folder contents i am unable to select the new files to load into the radio (XPR7550 and XPR7350e and XPR3500).

I created a sub-folder and loaded these .wav files into it. I get an error message stating "invalid voice file" when I try to load from the sub-folder".

Can I create a "personalized" set of wav files for our system and use the Manage Voice Announcement feature to program them into our radios.

Regards,

Chuck

Yes you can. Make the file 16-bit PCM, mono, 8000hz and less than 3 seconds and it will import.

As the previous poster mentioned, you have to get the wav file saved in the right format ( 16 bit mono) but I've also had good luck with longer file lengths. I think one of mine is almost 6 seconds.

If you haven't used it before - audacity is a nice program for setting up voice files, clipping, splicing, adjusting, etc.
