Well, had little else better to do today, so I've built a tool to re-generate the static voice prompts in the PhtSYS\TTS directory, where the tool can sensibly do so.
This basically involves some basic simple logic to convert files that are MP3 and are:
Called 'noaac.wav'
Called 'br<number>'
Called 'cur<number>'
Called '<something>.alpha'
Called '<number>'
Do not have '_' in the filename.
Right now I have it generating 48khz 16-bit Stereo text-to-speech WAV files, and then transcoding them to 192kbps MP3 files.
I notice from the originals, that they are 44khz, 128kbps so will be interesting to see if the new ones work.
I can easily drop the sample frequency down if not.
Screenshot of the final result:
It also makes a full backup of the existing files before starting the process.
I'll unleash this as part of the next release of PhatHack Media Manager [it will be a bit of a nightmare to separate it out as a stand-alone tool].
I have no idea yet if the resultant files will work with the DMS and frankly don't fancy trashing my DMS until I have my second DMS up and running.
If anyone fancies testing out the resultant MP3's give me a shout and I'll chuck a couple of them over for you to copy onto the DMS.
