Title: Modifying TTS voice announcements
Post by: HansCastorp on January 27, 2015, 08:09:12 PM
Hi,

is it possible to modify the TTS voice announcements? For instance, while running and following a route it could be useful to get information about delay (with the route creation time) or percentage (of route completed) by voice. At the moment time, distance and speed are disclosed in a fixed order.

Regards,

Hans

I've had similar thoughts, like a custom string with variables- upper case variables for entire track statistics and lower case for current segment statistics. I've also wondered whether there could be a major and a minor announcement, say pick a small interval for a minor announcement, with some current segment speed, HR, etc, but for, say, every 4 minor announcements use the major announcement string, which may contain overall time, distance, estimated time the finish, etc.

... and I would like to have a customizable trigger to start the announcement, e.g.:

- distance

- altitude up/down

- elapsed time (in minutes)

- distance to arrival

- ...

maybe just the attributes you can define for the dashboard ...  :)
