PPL go into settings and under voice & make sure you select svox. Also U have to switch default from pico to svox and try example. Sounds great DroidX

I've installed this in my incredible and I'm not getting anything. I've checked the settings and the volume. Would appreciate ideas.

Droid X 2.2: works fine until I do a reboot, then I get no sound unless I switch off of svox to pico and back again. What a pain! Please fix.

This is working well on my sprint Evo 4g. She sounds a little muffled sometimes but way better than pico. Keeping it. Btw Love my Evo!

Awesome, when it works. A few times when my phone should have been talking it played nothing. Checked media volume and ringer and both were up...

Ill give a 5 when I can hear the voices. The volume is low and hard to hear

I found it to be muffled, softer and no more emotion or natural sounding than Pico. Refunded. EVO / Froyo.
