How do I let Rockbox speak directory and file names?
The current Rockbox release (and daily build) has a feature, originally called “Talkbox”, where Rockbox looks for a small mp3 clip on the disk accompanying directories and certain types of files. These mp3 clips are intended to contain offline-generated voice samples of the names, allowing your device to “speak” directory and file names as you navigate the file structure. Certainly this sounds superiour to the spelling which Rockbox can do on its own. These clips can be automatically generated by the text-to-speech engine that is most likely already present on your computer. This is a one-time process (although it may be updated at any time if you add or delete files from your device) that must be performed while your device is connected to the host PC. See the VoiceHowto for details on this.
