Downloading and installing voices

There are two types of official TomTom navigation voices:

  • Standard voices that come pre-installed on every TomTom device. They are recorded voices and give you spoken instructions for your route.
  • Computer voices that use text-to-speech technology to read street names, incoming text messages, weather information, etc. Not all devices support computer voices.

    2. Your installed voices are grouped first in your chosen language (the language you have set MyDrive Connect to use), and then in other languages.
    3. In the Add voices to your device section you will also see your language first, then other languages listed alphabetically. This section contains all the standard voices and computer voices compatible with your device, as well as all voices you have previously purchased for the connected device but which are not currently installed.
