OverviewPhrases may consist of multiple sound files, some selected dynamically using group lookups. We recommend you customize the sound files by augmenting, replacing or creating your own localization.
This topic describes some of the sound files provided for the US-en localization. We recommend you inspect your lang.xml file for more detailed usage information and to discover the full selection of sound files.
Sound FilesEach sound file is a WAV file and should have the standard suffix ".wav". All sound files should be placed in your localization directory.
Compass Directions
Each of the four compass directions has a corresponding sound file. These sound files are combined to produce a total of eight compass directions ("north", "north east", "east", "south east", and so on).
The same sound files are used for the four heading values ("north", "south", "east" and "west").
Distances
Three sound files announce distances below 1 mile in 1/4 mile increments: "quarter mile", "half mile" and "three quarter mile". Distances of 1 mile and 1 kilometer both have their own sound file ("one mile" and "one kilometer" respectively).
Other distances are announced using numbers and an appropriate suffix ("mile", "yards", "meters" or "kilometer").
Exits
Sound files are provided for the first ("first exit"), second ("second exit"), third, fourth and fifth exits. These sound files have names of 1exit.wav, 2exit.wav, and so on.
Instructions
Two sound files provide instructions to "keep in left lane" and "keep in right lane". Other sound files contain instructions to "turn left", "turn right", "destination is on the left" "destination is on the right", "take exit", "make u-turn", "at traffic light", "at roundabout", and so on.
Other instructions can be found by inspecting the phrase group in your lang.xml file.
Numbers
The numbers 0-19 (inclusive), multiples of 10 (from 20 to 90 inclusive) and multiples of 100 (from 100 to 1000 inclusive) have their own corresponding sound files. For example the sound file for 0 ("zero") is named 0.wav, the sound file for 100 ("one hundred") is named 100.wav.
These sound files are combined to produce numbers as desired. Each sound file simply contains an audible representation of the corresponding number.
