Hi All,
M6+ is a good dashcam but vocal messages are only in Chinese.
Almost one year ago, i've I created a language pack for my M6+ to make it speak in French (or English).
It works well on my M6+.
I've used firmware is 3.1.1.7 to make compatible the GPS file with registorviewer freeware software.
I've tested the package language on firmware 3.0.0.18 and 3.1.1.7 and no worries.
Warning: i don't know if it works with new firmware because i'm not using it.
How i did it:
I could retrieve 15 sound files from my M6+ , translate vocal messages into french (and english).
Then with this speech synthetiser web site, I recreate them in audio files, , convert them into the M6+ plus (pcm format) and reinject them in the dashcam with an update package to replace only modified sound files.
Retrieved sound files list:
But in fact, on my dascham, i've only heard "hello DDpai" & "GPS successfully locked". But it's enough for me
The update pack language
Update pack language us woman (jenny).zip
Vocal messages texts have become:
Update pack french woman language.zip
Original chinese language package
How to install it ?
Disclaimer: please do this under your own responsability, and i cannot be held responsible in case of any problem.
Unzip the language pack at the root of the SD card, then turn on the camera to update.
Do not turn off the camera during the update!!!
The camera after the reboot should speak in the installed language.
If the pack does not fit you, reinstall the original chinese package or original firmware.
Make your own vocal or sound message:
I've used linux Ubuntu for this (sorry i don't know the conversion softwares to do it in windows)
I make the new sound in wav format and i convert it in pcm format with command lines.
The file name has to need to the same file name as the original sound file.
And replace or add it, in the update pack in "/update/share/aud_res" directory.
Convert wav to pcm command line:
ffmpeg -i <audio file>.wav -ar 16000 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le <audio file>.pcm
Ex:
ffmpeg -i aud_open.wav -ar 16000 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le aud_open.pcm
To check or listen pcm audio file:
mplayer -rawaudio samplesize=2:channels=1:rate=16000 -demuxer rawaudio <file name>.pcm
Ex:
mplayer -rawaudio samplesize=2:channels=1:rate=16000 -demuxer rawaudio aud_open.pcm
