You already know that I love to make Ovi Maps more fun and today I’m glad to announce the funniest addition to Ovi Maps I’ve ever seen heard: Own Voice for Ovi Maps.
Yes, you can now personalize your own Ovi Maps voice guided drive navigation instructions with your own voice, or other users’, friends’, family’s… there are so many possibilities! This works with the latest version of Nokia’s Ovi Maps. If you don’t already have Ovi Maps v3.03 with free worldwide walk and drive navigation, download it at http://nokia.com/maps now.
To start recording your voice pack visit http://ovi.com/ownvoice or download the application from the Ovi Store. Then make sure you’re in a quiet place, relax and speak naturally, and be creative if the mood strikes you! You will be guided through each phrase to say and you can listen to each bit after you have recorded it. When you’re done, you can also record a short description of your voice pack as a preview for other users.
To save recording time, only the most frequently used instructions are recorded, to be precise, 53 of them. Remaining ones are added in the server to create a complete package. Due to that, after recording your part, it will be uploaded, missing instructions are added and complete package is created and downloaded back to your phone. Then just open Ovi Maps and select Settings > Navigation > Drive guidance > Own Voice to activate it.
Own Voice also supports social features: you can in fact browse other users’ voice packs, rate them and share them via E-mail, Twitter or Facebook!
What are you waiting for? Drive navigation on Ovi Maps is now not only free but also fun!
