    Denso. No, you cannot change the voice. The voice is on a file on the Nav DVD, but no standard option exists for changing it.

    Could you translate this to English? I have no idea what you are trying to say.

    Thanks,

    The Prius GPS uses Nuance RealSpeak for text-to-speech. It does not use recorded audio files. RealSpeak has several different accents available, but I don't think anyone has figured out how to switch it.

    The US Prius uses RealSpeak's Jill voice. I don't know if it uses different accents for English outside the US.
