To complete this process, first download the voice of your choosing to your computer. Connect your TomTom to your computer using the proper cable. Navigate to the device on your computer and locate the "Voices" file folder. Copy the voice and paste it in that folder. Allow the files to transfer, which may take 30 seconds or more, then unhook the TomTom from your computer and allow it to restart. After it reboots, find the preferences menu on the TomTom and click the option to change the voice.http://www.gps-data-team.com/pda-gps-navigation/topic/11.html
