To test that your recorded phrases work nicely as concatenated sentences, you can use the play command from the sox package. For example:
play After.ogg 100.ogg Meters.ogg TurnRight.ogg
Likewise you can use media players like amarok to play several files one after each other. Enable gapless playback, if possible.

This page contains a list of all voice commands to be included in a Marble voice. See Voice of Marble if you came here by accident. The list below is also available as a text file.

Instructions

To record an english speaker, you can use the phrases in the Voice Commands section below directly. For other languages you need to translate the commands. Please ensure that

  • the translated phrases are short, concise and easy to hear and understand -- this is crucial when driving, being unnecessary verbose and correct is counterproductive
  • the vocabulary used matches the regular technical driving terms
  • phrases which are concatenated with other phrases form grammatically sensible sentences (if possible) -- see the Concatenated Phrases section below

To generate a translation text file which you can use during recording, do the following:

  1. Download all voice commands and open them in a text editor
  2. Replace each voice command with its translated version. Keep the tips above in mind.
  3. Construct some concatenated phrases (see section below) and ensure that the sentences have a proper grammar (this is not always entirely possible).

Concatenated Phrases

Some of the voice commands above are concatenated to form sentences. Here is a list of them. These full sentences do not need to be recorded by you, they are automatically created from the recorded phrases they consist of.

Concatenated Phrase Example

<Turn Instruction> + Then.ogg + <Turn Instruction> Take the exit on the right, then turn left.
After.ogg + <Distance> + <Distance Unit> + <Turn Instruction> After 500 meters, turn sharply left.

To test that your recorded phrases work nicely as concatenated sentences, you can use the play command from the sox package. For example: 

play After.ogg 100.ogg Meters.ogg TurnRight.ogg

Likewise you can use media players like amarok to play several files one after each other. Enable gapless playback, if possible.
