Mappero will read out the instruction as it is displayed on the screen.

So does that mean it will announce both the street name and the direction to follow?

How do I get English speaking navigation?

I installed Mappero and determined that it only announces the direction. Mappero does not announce the street name. It would be great if Mappero were able to announce both.

Pre-requisite: Install mappero 3.1 and espeak-cli from maemo repository.

1. Copy sugar-speechd to /usr/bin/
2. Copy org.laptop.Speech.service to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
3. Install maemo-mapper_3.1-os2008_armel.deb (http://applenorange.in/maemo-mapper_...2008_armel.deb) as root.

Note: Since the maemo-mapper package was exceeding the forum attachment limit, I uploaded it to a server I manage.

OK, so I've done all that, and each step seemed to work OK. At the start, Mapper was making terse announcements in interlingua (sounds like Italian to me). Now, I get no sounds at all.

What might I have done wrong (I'm a newbie, so it's probably me missing something basic)

You should try the command line and if that works for you. e.g.
$ espeak "some words to speak"

Yes, I tried that, and it works just fine. But Mappero is still silent

Check if /usr/bin/sugar-speechd has execute permission. If not execute following as root:

chmod +x /usr/bin/sugar-speechd

To verify if speechd is configured properly, execute the following at python prompt:

>> import dbus
>> bus = dbus.SessionBus()
>> espeak_object = bus.get_object('org.laptop.Speech', '/org/laptop/Speech')
>> espeak_object.SayText("say hello world")

At this point, you should hear N900 speak "say hello world".

That's it: permissions on sugar-speechd. Couldn't get the python to work (error on statement 2) but Mappero now talks to me, albeit somewhat robotically. Thanks
