Your Very Own Custom Voices for Nuvi by Garmin... FREE!

From Gary Hayman's site:

Notice that the Audio sample rate was different than what I previous thought was required (PCM 44.100kHz 16 Bit, Mono) it is: PCM 16kHz 16 Bit, Mono; and IT WORKED as a voice sound when tested with my nüvi.

How should i do this?

From the Help file:

Importing WAV Files

You can import WAV files encoded using 16 bit raw PCM audio sampled at 44 kHz. The WAV file must be less than 10 seconds in length.

Use an audio editor to re-sample your WAV files to the recommended audio properties. Here's an open source audio editor, if you don't have one yet: Audacity

Thanks! AM downloading to my Mac, because PC version i'm facing little problems.

BTW, i've try on iTunes, QuickTime Pro and Switch, I still get the 16kHz PCM, 256Bit, mono. Settings are 16Bit but after convert still 256bit.

Did i missing something on these software?

waiting complete for the audacity download.

Sorry, I'm not sure how the conversions are done in other softwares, I use Sony Sound Forge, and there are menus for Resampling (Hz), Bit Depth Converter (bit), and Channel Converter (mono/stereo).

Here is the steps i done in audacity, but i still got the 256bit wav format.

Hope you guys can collect me.

You do not need to worry about the bitrate. Your current audio attribute is 16,000Hz/16bit/mono, while your goal is 44,100Hz/16bit/stereo (see pic below). Follow these steps to convert using Audacity:

1. Start Audacity, open audio file.
2. Set Project Rate (Hz) to 44100.
3. Select Tracks > Add New > Stereo Track.
4. Place cursor at original track, select Edit > Select > All. Then select Edit > Copy.
5. Place cursor at new track, select Transport > Skip to Start. Then select Edit > Paste.
6. Remove original track (leaving only new stereo track) and finally, select Export.
