I want to have my new tom tom to say street names when giving direstions

Not all sound files speak out the street names. If you would like to have the street names spoken, you need to select a voice that ends with computer. For example, the voice file selection: Simon, English UK, Computer will speak street names. But the voice file, Bonnie, English US, will not speak Street names. Dave, English US, computer will give you street names but Lori or Mandy, English US will not.Procedure to get the street names spoken: Tap on main screen. Tap on change preferences. Tap on arrow. Tap on change voices. Tap (select) a voice that ends with computer. Tap select. Tap done till you reach the main screen.

I have a Tom Tom 340S XL and I cannot get it to speak the street names as advertised. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks,

You solved the problem for me. I switched to a "computer voice" and the Tom Tom began calling out the street names. As many times as I read the 340S manual I never saw the requirement to use only a computer voice to speak the street names. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Tom tom 130S will not speak street names

As far as I can tell the Tom tom 130S only speaks the street names when you use the computer voice (female, Amanda) and not any of the other voices.

Will not speak street names

The One XL will not speak street names, but the One XL-S will. Text-to-Speech is the main difference between the two models.

My Tom Tom XL 330 S doesn't name the streets-just says TURN HERE

Hi,

When you choose a voice on your tomtom device, you will need to select a voice with the word 'computer' next to gender of the voice you select.

this will activate two option on the next screen allowing you to tick read street names.

Thanks,
Pabz

Tomtom xl 330.s wont speek street names

Yes Nickarino is right.
When I switched on my new tom tom it gave me that option to speak street names and it vanished after selected a different voice. I checked all manuals and web references in Tom Tom - none of them list it.
Like Nick said - what you need to do is swtich the voice type to SAMANTHA and it will show the option "Read Street Names Loudly". I jumped on it and said yes ..!!!
Thanks Nick !!

Speaking the names of major streets

It will only tell you the names of the streets if you use the COMPUTER voice. The other voices will not announce street names. So go to your voice selection and pick the computer voice...either male or female.

To get your TomTom to speak street names, you will need to change the voice from a recorded voice to a computer voice. This can be done by:

Connect your TomTom to your computer
When the TomTom asks do you want to connect to the computer, choose Yes
Open the TomTom Home application
Click on the 'Add Traffic, Voices, Safety Cameras, etc.' button
Click on the 'Voices' button
Click on the 'Computer Voices' button

You can now select a voice to install on the device.
Once you have installed a voice, change it by

Disconnect the TomTom from your computer
Turn on the TomTom
Touch the screen to bring up the menu
Touch 'Change Preferences'
Touch 'Voice Preferences'
Touch 'Change Voice'
Use the Left / Right arrows to navigate to the voice you just installed (Look for the word 'computer' in the upper right corner by the male/female option)
Touch the 'Select' button
