Android App Review: SVOX Classic TTS Engine | Android Central
Calendar16 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:48:14 UTC +00:00
Mini_discussion_bubble Android Central | Android Central
I might not think Siri is all that and a bag of chips, but I've got to hand it to Apple for one thing: it sounds good. Listening to the articulate, smooth-talking Siri, I couldn't help but think how archaic Android's own text-to-speech sounded. Compare Android's voice to Siri and you're left with the inevitable comparison to the Speak and Spell. During one of my stints in the Android Central podcast chat, a reader suggested I give the SVOX Classic TTS Engine a shot, and boy, am I glad I did. Now the text-to-speech on Android is more than tolerable, and that's saying something. When you install SVOX, you can't really do much in terms of text-to-speech. What you can do, however, is browse more than 25 languages, and once you've chosen a language, see the available voice packs for that language. Languages are sorted by a country's flag at the top Read More

A bit deceptive at first glance The engine is free but you MUST Purchase a voice libray as they state -- "The free Classic Text To Speech Engine installs a full fledged TTS engine to your Android and comes with demo mp3's for 40 voices. Voice packages need to be purchased separately." I dislike tricky, deceptive, why list it under Free Apps??!
KazW 2.0 stars
Not usable in Android 3.1 This app installed fine on my Asus Transformer, but when I purchased a voice and installed that, it force closed when I hit the "Go to tts settings" button. I have the latest firmware installed as well. It's really too bad, I wanted TTS in ezPDF Reader, my transformer is a great e-reader, but lacks TTS. The voices did sound great on a side note.

Even though the 3.0 upgrade has brought some subtle choppiness and quality loss in the voice packages, SVOX is still one of the best TTS engines on the market. Voice quality in Ivona is superb (easily the best on the market), but until they improve their engine- SVOX will reign supreme. I never used the paid voice packages prior to the update, so my rating does not reflect the claim that some have made about having to re-purchase. If that is the case, SVOX should fix that asap.

Excellent voices, shame about the customer service Brilliant, clear and the standard that voices should be measured against. However, when there was a problem, all attempts to get support from the developer got no response whatsoever! Instead of letting us know that there was a known problem with some devices and that they were working on a fix, they let us continue to spend hours on trying to overcome the error, including reformatting my SD card and factory-reseting the phone. Shameful communication.

Better than PICO with reasonable voice file sizes My SVOX uses the US English Grace Voice, which sounds more natural and pleasant than the default PICO TTS. SVOX lets users adjust the pitch, speed and volume of voices. I made Grace Voice sweeter for my pretty Speaktoit Personal Assistant, (i.e., a Siri clone with customizable avatars.) Other users noted that IVONA TSS sounds better than SVOX, but IVONA voice files are GIGANTIC: Kendra US English is 250+ MB (!!?) and cannot be moved to SD card. SVOX Grace is about less than 20 MB and installed to SD card.

Older version of the program and the voices (2.x.x) which you can find on warez sites work much better. I bought the program (3.x.x), but returned to the cracked version, because it still works. There is some problem with language switching. I use Enhanced SMS and caller-id, and it use to be able to read english text with english voice and hungarian text with hungarian voice. but now the switching capability is broken. Unfortunatelly there is an update notification in 2.x.x, which makes it a little more difficult to use. SVOX, please roll back to the old version but without the update notification.

I really like svox the txt to speech is way better than the default android engine, but it drives me insane that it has two icons in my app drawer.

Why is it when I try to install any of the svox voices, on the middle of the download cuts off and never gets fully installed Is it you're server from Google? I think I have a old copy of this app will try it out.

Free trial claim is misleading. Try one voice, purchase it and then want to try another, you can't!! Emails get NO response. Switch to Ivona app.

Voices are great (though I wish they'd release an all-voice pack at a discounted price). Downside: voices download data after being installed, and don't use OBB, so the refund window is non-existent depending on your data speed.

Seems to crash while using Google NAV, the main reason people purchase this app. Anyway, once it crashes it will start reading from a XML file saying all sorts of crazy things! Good thing it doesnt start reading Browser History with wife in the car, LOL!!! >>>joke<<< ONE STAR UNTIL FIX, at least acknowledge the issue, seriously!

very disappointed in this voice speech it doesn't read out my text messages as my voice speech, call announcer program does. plus my uk english voice you do not have to pay 4 in english voice. I'm not paying 3 dollars for 1 voice speech when I get in free with call announcer. I'm uninstalling immediately this program...

The speech quality is much better than the Android standard 'Pico' engine. Sometimes sounds almost natural, almost always sound acceptable. When it gets a word wrong you can define a correction but this is hard to use. Sometimes speaks the name of a punctuation character instead of just pausing. Engine is free but you pay per voice; I bought two so far. Don't be put off by the privacy warning; Android displays that for ALL add on TTS apps.

Installed svox+victoria and ALL voice aboard my razr maxx (android version 2.3.6) stopped working entirely. Hasn't worked since. svox+victoria seemed to install ok & gave no errors. in steps listed as "how to use?" - 1st failure was noted at step 9 - "listen to example" (nothing) ... Tried back/forth to pico/svox per step 10 - nothing. Tried running app and when clicking on arrow (play button) to hear sample from app it seemed to play, there was pause then square stop button changed back to arrow play button - but made no sound. Rechecked all settings volume etc. went back over all FAQs here -nothing suggested worked. Tried multiple uninstalls/reinstalls with victoria, demos, other voices & other demos - still nothing. Tried step 11 - nothing. Tried uninstall then reinstalled forcing it to use SD card instead of internal memory - nothing. Tried multiple reboot of razr phone -nothing works not svox not pico nothing!!! --- it seems that while I paid $2.99 it was instead worth - nothing! - No, that's wrong. Before I paid my money, my voice (pico) was working - now it's not! svox is worth less than nothing it broke my phone! please reply with suggestion or refund...

Works well. Better than ivona which seems to have issues on play back. This plays well from all apps. Natural voice sound.
stanberka 4.0 stars
The voice is pleasent and clear. However, every "Mr." is read a an end of sentence, and every hyphen is read "hyphen", which break the text flow so badly that it's much harder to follow it. If it was fixed or made free, I'd give it 5 stars. But as it is, no way.

After much screaming, gnawing & gnashing of teeth and wanting to throw the phone across the room I finally got it functioning properly. My biggest issue was downloading the SVOX US English voice... it would not install, the data stream would be interrupted regardless of my internet connection which it needed. Then a light bulb clicked....I disabled Juice Defender and it finally installed, albeit slow as molasses, but it did. I also discovered in order to make it do what it is suppose to do, ie: text to speech for reading texts out-loud while driving Juice Defender needs deactivated for that as well. Apparently it disrupts the data controls in order to save battery life, that is unless you have the paid version, which I do not. So for those who are seeming to have difficulty with this try this on your phone and see if that helps. And probably not just for Juice Defender, any program that disrupts your data stream could have an effect on this. This worked for me, I have a Droid Pro running Android version 2.3.4. Good Luck!

I have had no problems installing or making this default no problems with Victoria so far so good. Only downer I have noticed is the lack of creative voices such as yoda, darth vader, willow the wisp for a few random examples tomtom got you beat there sorry
