Multiple Navigation Voices?

[Kevin Harvell]

When my wife and I first experienced it, I told her that it appears that our regular navigation assistant must have went on break or they had a shift change .

This has to be one of the strangest bugs... Anyone know if this is an ICS issues or is it a Galaxy SIII specific issue?

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but are there other voices you can download for the nav?

 

[funkylogik]

u can download voices, ive got a nice welsh girl called Gwynith havent used nav but id guess u can assign a voice to it. search "tts" or text to speech on play store. think i got mine from svox app + the voice was free coz its still in beta

 

[Ricky Babalu]

cool i havent tried nav yet.. hope i dont get the ugly 1

Just put a bag over it.

 

[funkylogik]

haha i use all the bags on my fiance glad shes not a geek so she'l never read this

Has anyone found a fix or another option so this doesn't continue to happen?

 

[funkylogik]

i kinda think the nice voice must be words or phrases in the phone memory but the ugly voice is words or phrases that the phone has to produce there + then

The "peppy" one sounds like the voice in Jellybean. Very natural and almost human.

I don't think it's a bug. I think Google must be in the midst of some programming changes and has not totally transitioned to the nice voice.

Maybe those sound bites haven't been recorded yet.

it doesn't really matter as long as it gets me where I am going.

 

[funkylogik]

when we get offline maps with jellybean, will nav work offline?

This is happening to me too. Samsung Galaxy S3. I would swear that I got one voice telling me to turn left on Green street and then a different voice telling me to drive 1 mile on Green street. This was in a 4G capable network. It cannot be that one voice can say Green street and the other cannot. I cannot seem to find anything other than a random occurrence.

This makes the most sense.

Either way it's good for a laugh. Although I'd like to have the option to easily switch to other voices.

I don't necessarily agree with this as there is a completely different voice on the Moto Droid phones. If Google was programming the voice then it would be the same voice on all devices no matter what manufacturer. This tells me that it's Samsung providing the voice even though Google provides the maps. Of course I could be wrong as well since nobody knows...

 

[funkylogik]

maybe its a mix of both

maybe it just has multi personality disorder.....just sayin

It's not Galaxy specific. The same thing happens on my girlfriend's HTC Sensation.
