Guys
For those who have sent localised versions of the on-screen text. I now need these texts to be reviewed for use for the voice prompts system
Please check your own language in the files at
https://github.com/LibreDMR/voice-promp ... /languages
Specifically the CSV file.
Note.
1. The abbreviated texts need to be expanded to complete words or phrases. Also symbols like "->" need to be replaces with words like "to"
e.g. "VFO to New Channel"
2. I find sometimes that spreadsheets like Excel do not handle accented characters very well.
If possible use a text editor like NotePad++ ( https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ ) with the file encoding set to UTF8
3. You need to chose a voice from https://voicepolly.pro for your text.
It is best to enter some text into the VoicePolly website, and test it with the various voices available for your language.
In some languages the female voice is easier to hear than the male voice, but its possible for me to download and encode both male and female voices for the same language.
However because there is a daily download quota on https://voicepolly.pro I can't immediately create a full set of voices for all langauges
