TomTom 340TM: how do you delete the unused voices?
63652
Use the TomTom Home software that comes inside the GPS. When you hook up your GPS to your computer with usb, you should be able to see the TomTom device drive. Open it, find the setup program and install TomTom Home software. You can manage anything you want using the software including deleting unused voices etc etc.

I had this problem too. On the TomTom Home application, the computer voices were listed as not being usable by the device (even though they came pre-installed on the device). I tried the factory reset (holding down power button on the unit for 15 seconds until it restarts). This did not work. Then I followed the instructions to reinstall the TomTom application on the device from here: http://www.tomtom.com/9091 . This worked. I also should have tried restarting the TomTom Home application before or after the factory reset of the device. That may have worked.

If there is, I could not find it in the short user's guide that came with mine. I hope there is, and that someone who knows how to do so will share that. I would love to disable it. ;-)

Good to hear that those instructions worked out -- I should be able to figure out what is going on w/ the cut-off speech of the street names.Can you tell me if your TomTom is cutting off only some of the street names, or is this happening with all street names?

They offer a speech text service you can purchase after the first free year or something like that. I did not use their service because I use Motospeak for free with my Motorola phone. I only had this device a month before the metal speaker came out and was lost forever making it useless. I replaced with a Samsung Bluetooth.

How did you delete the audios? Did you reformat the recorder, or delete them off the recorder one by one, or cut and paste onto your computer?

Voice on my 255 nuvi went off.GPS works but silently..Is there a reset or is the unit broken? Voice temporarily returned, but it was in German!

Voice command doesn't work for me. There is no option for it in the steering wheel setup

Normally, the Nuvi series come with 6 TTS (text-to-speech) voices (3 male, 3 female). If yours doesn't have these, you can download them for free on the Garmin website.

The TomTom operates either on its internal memory, or on the SD card. If you want it to use the maps on its internal memory, turn it on without the card inserted. If you want it to use the maps on the card, plug the card in, before you turn the unit on. If the maps are obtained in the correct way, the card will also be loaded with an up to date operating system. It is the lack of this that is your problem. It does happen that downloads become corrupted in some way, so it may help to plug the TomTom into your PC, connect on-line to TomTom and try an update. Could be that any corrupt data is replaced, allowing the unit to operate normally. The TomTom operates either on its internal memory, or on the SD card.

Yes, you scroll to the file you wish to delete and hold down the volume button. Then select Yes or No. My player came with the complete works of Shakespeare installed. Nice feature, but I deleted them all for more music room.

I agree with your comments. I have had the TomTom One XL for over a month now. The Text to Speech would be nice option but I have found that it is not necessary to have. The accuracy of the satellites isa such that it tells you exactly when to turn. Also, the advantage of the big screen means that it's real easy to see the street name to turn on to if you really need it. So Text to speech is not a deal breaker for me.

Has the speaker been connected to another device? If so you might have to delete it from that device first

I say trash it. It is a terrible model anyways. Gives terrible directions. I previously owned a tom tom. It was much much better.

I have an older TomTom model, and out of the box this function was not enabled. To enable text-to-speech on my model (TomTom One XLS), I had to perform the following action: Tap on "Change Preferences". Go to screen four, and tap on "Change Voice". Select "Computer Voice". Tap "Read Aloud Steet Names", checking the box, and then tap "Done". These instructions were not found in the manual, but were on a card that was in the box.

Aside from just re-recording and staying silent, your best bet might be to just take out the batteries and re-program the unit and skip doing a voice recording the second time around.
