Is it possible to choose the voice you want on any models? I wear hearing aids and often can't hear female voices accurately. Can one get a male - hopefully baritone - voice on any of the models? I think I could understand it more easily. Is it possible to choose the voice you want on any models? I wear hearing aids and often can't hear female voices accurately.

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.

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!

No, you cannot go directly to the desired recording. During some recordings the voices sounded muffled not audible.

Yes. That type of preset is available, but you can also adjust bass and treble independently. There's also balance, auto volume, virtual surround, and Clear Voice II (which I haven't used, but apparently it tries to boost vocal frequencies to make dialogue louder). You can also disable the TV speakers, which I didn't realize until I looked just now.Same sort of thing for the picture settings. There are presets but you can adjust backlight, contrast, brightness, sharpness, color, tint, color temperature, etc. And that's before getting into the "advanced" picture settings. There's also a pretty good calibration wizard if you don't like the defaults but aren't sure where to start with adjustments. Yes.

It unfortunately does NOT record your own voice :( I am wondering the same thing myself on how to get my own voice in the game chat on the videos :/ Good luck finding something that words!! I am still looking, myself.

It sounds like your voice got changed.... understanding that you only changed time zones... but is there some way you got changed to a voice that doesn't support TTS (text to speech)? I'd check that setting first, selecting a voice that has (TTS) after the name in the listing.

I have two of these...one for my son and one for my daughter...one changes voices the other does not. can remember which one does. check you tube. the one with the larger dimensions changes voices.

I could hear my voice through the headset, when I downloaded mumble speak, to be able to talk online while gameing, so I assume u should be able too if you are telling the computer you are on a headset with mike :) when I had to set mumble up, it had me do a voice thingy, and I could hear myself, so.. that's all I know :)

Voice recognition is part of Windows function. So, essentially any Windows computer with microphone "comes with" voice recognition. This one is not an exception. It needs to be activated though. Does it work well? Now, that is a separate question all together... I haven't used it in a while, but it used to require quite a bit of patience. I am not sure if it has gotten any better over the years.

Where do you select voices? I've checked everywhere and I don't see an option to change the voice or choose text-to-speech.

I use to be able to turn it on and off by snapping my tongue on the roof of my mouth. Once you get the tone right it will work. I also would say a loud ay sound (as in "ay" what are you doing). Just do a quick loud tone and it should work. FYI being a man i have a lower than say most women. So if its for a female and its not working at normal tone try shouting a bit in a lower tone. Hope this helps.

Each person's voice is different, so the needs and results will vary for each person. I have noticed a big difference. Before having the pop filter, I could not speak directly into the mic; I had to speak just over top of the microphone to prevent it from picking up the pop sounds. Now, I can speak directly into it. It's not perfect, but it is a major improvement over not having it. In reality, you could use any brand pop filter with the mic as they all are supposed to do the same job.

I can't assume ANYTHING here...... So, I MUST ask you this.... You have "Voice Activation" on your Phone, Right. ..?!?! Assuming you do, Then you have to make sure It's Already Been Programmed correctly, also....!!! Then just pair them up, Together In your App. and It should work from there....!!!! Don L.

We have had two. I believe the voice was fine on this one - a woman's voice. On the $29.99 one, it was a man's voice and seemed pretty quiet. They do wear out every four months, apparently.

I agree with Chris, you have to select the option through Windows playback. You can select "Listen to this Devise" and then you will hear you own voice.

Yes. The sound of your own voice travels up the eustacean tubes. the microphone is in the ear canal, so it would conflict with in-the-ear hearing aids. It works very well and is undetectable to the other party, no matter what type of phone you are using.

Yes! The head set has a volume control of it's own so you can turn the headset volume where you want it, BUT in my case I am deaf in my left ear and wear a hearing aid in my right ear except when wearing a headset but in using this headset I had to crank up the TV volume to 100% so it would come thru the headset and I could just barely hear the TV and it was raspy. I had my son try on the headset and he said it worked fine for him so I guess it was my ear causing the problem, and I returned the headset for credit. I have a Visio TV so I purchased a Visio Sound Bar and it works fine but probably set at a louder volume than normal but with clear undistorted sound much better than the TV speakers produce. Yes!

Tools>Settings>Language>voice. Make sure you have one selected. American Jill or Australian Karen have good TTS.
