Hi
You just need to copy downloaded voice files to your device.
Instructions:
1. Save downloaded folder to your PC, for example in 'C:tomtomvoices'
2. Switch on your TomTom and connect it to the computer (USB cable)
3. Click the Windows Start logo at the bottom left of your screen, then click on 'My Computer' and you should see the your TomTom ( e.g. Devices with Removable Storage with a small icon). Double click on the icon and the TomTom's folder view will open.
4. If you have a folder labelled 'voices', double click it, otherwise you'll need to store you voice files in the root folder (the first folder you see, after following Step 3). PDA and pocket GPS users with TomTom software may need to copy saved files to folder mobile device/my documents
5. Copy any of the voice files from the folder ( all 3 files: CHK, BMP and VIF) and paste into the folder voices or tomtom root folder (i.e. copy all the files to that folder: data88.chk and data88.bmp and data88.vif).
6. You can save as many tomtom voices as you want.
7. After pasting the last voice wait about 30 seconds, and then remove your USB cable. Your tomtom will reboot and you will be able to activate selected voice.
To change a voice on your TomTom:
1. Tap the centre of the screen:
2. Tap 'Change Preferences '
3. Click the right arrow, three times.
4. Now select 'Change Voice'
5. Use the right and left buttons to scroll around your available voices.
Note to pocket GPS and PDA users with TomTom software:
In step 4 you may need to save downloaded voices to 'mobile device'/'my documents'
Easy.
Open the “Settings” app on the iPhone and go to “Maps” settings. Go to the “Driving & Navigation” settings. Look for the “Navigation Voice Volume” setting and choose ‘Loud Volume’, ‘Normal Volume’, or ‘Low Volume’ to re-enable voice navigation in Apple Maps for iOS. Exit out of Settings and get directions from Apple. The Lazarillo App will provide you guidance through voice messages! It will tell you where you are and the places of interest around you: Banks, shops, cafes and more. Businesses with Lazarillo indoor wayfinding will be highlighted. As you move through the city, Lazarillo will announce street intersections and key reference points, so you can.

Waze employs the Governator for its GPS app, the latest in a line of celebrity voices.

As long as we've had computer-generated voices giving us directions, GPS manufacturers have tried to make its devices and smartphone apps more fun to use. One idea is to use celebrity voices as a substitute for the usual haughty computer voice.
Waze, the GPS company that uses crowdsourcing to help drivers determine the best routes, recently employed Arnold Schwarzenegger to lend his voice to its smartphone app. The company, founded in Israel and owned by Google, partnered with Paramount Studios. The studio approved Schwarzenegger to perform as the Terminator for a promotion for the upcoming film 'Terminator Genisys.' USA Today has video of the Governator's recording session, where he utters phrases like 'I'm looking for Sarah Conner. But we'll go to your destination first.'
The folks at Waze have done this before; last year, they had Terry Crews of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' give enthusiastic directions. Speaking of enthusiasm, imagine having Kevin Hart yell directions at you. Waze did that, too:

Waze also hired Vlade Divac, former Los Angeles Lakers center and current Sacramento Kings general manager, to record directions. If you've ever wanted your directions to be spoken with a Serbian accent, Vlade is your guy:

Waze isn't the only one doing this. TomTom has been using celebrity voices on their GPS devices for years, and the Dutch company makes funny 'behind the scenes' videos of its recording sessions. Here's one with Darth Vader, who wasn't happy with the engineer's instructions:

TomTom also used Bert and Ernie from 'Sesame Street' for a recording session, with Ernie adorably annoying his roomie like he always does:

Voice Skins is one of the companies that licenses voices for TomTom, Garmin and other GPS manufacturers. Voice Skins worked to get both the 'Sesame Street' and 'Star Wars' voices into your GPS. But two of its most popular voices were the laid-back directions provided by Snoop Dogg...

... and the hopefully not misguided voice of Homer Simpson (let's hope he didn't just direct people to local donut shops).
