Might have some use to your code, so that it only announces street name if it has to.

Your right, for the street name part, it will only add the streetname if aUseStreet is sent as true. I've made a new function called getSound based on getDescription:

Code:

        getDescription: function (aTranslator, aUseStreet, aFormat) {
            var streetPlaceholder = "{0}";
            var signpostPlaceholder = "{1}";
            var formatPlaceholder = "{0}";
            var descriptions = [];

If aUseStreet is false it doesn't add the street name, nor does it add the "onto", so it plays only sound files.

I'm actually looking forward to the config.xml parsing you and CormacB are doing as it'll be much more professional and easier to change in the future. I'm only using this hardcoded method just for testing, and since I couldn't get the parser working.

Yes, currently its a mixture of voice sounds and espeak for street names and anything else it doesn't know
