Hi Tom,

Thanks for replying! Yes I can imagine for the user it is a bit harder to do. But then again, if you really want it, it's not that hard to learn ;-)

Maybe something in between can be created, where the user can make own spoken wav segments of the text that they would like to hear at a certain point?

Like

bridge.wav
go.wav
left over.wav

And then when you're writing text like go left over bridge Run.GPS can pick the words based upon the samples.

Sorry for thinking along, I am also a developer ;-)
Anyway, thanks for giving it a try I will wait patiently for your solution. Speech synthesis is ofcourse less memory consuming and more user friendly ...

With regards,
- Jorgen

Hi Jorgen

absolutely right. This feature would be very cool and will probably be coming.

Using MP3s/WAVs though might be too difficult because saving files with equal names and copying them around is hard to explain to most users. Therefore we tend to implement speech synthesis instead so you can write messages that get spoken when you are at a certain point.

Only thing is that we do not have speech synthesis yet. This means, at the moment Run.GPS can speak only pre-programmed phrases like speed 55 kms per hour. But I cannot say turn left after the bridge because it doesn't know the word bridge. We're working on that.

Best regards

Tom

Hi there,

I am a very satisfied user of Run.GPS for about 2 months now, but I frequently notice that planning a biking trip with parallel roads (like a fork in the road where either left or right is actually going in the same direction for a short while) it gets very hard to either choose the left or right path without some extra info. Also bridges which I have to cross over but actually have to go past first, is confusing. You tend to go 12 o'clock for a while, but notice you are diverting from the route, and have to go 7 to go back to that point, if the trip is long, and you forgot that the bridge actually had to be crossed, it gets confusing what way I have to go.

So, my question / suggestion is, it would be nice to leave a spoken memo to myself at the locations where these decision points are a bit harder. A practical solution could be that I use Google Earth to pin my points of interest with the pin symbol, save it with a particular name, and store it in a directory inside my Run.GPS data dir. I save a MP3 or WAV file with the same name also in that directory. If I cross that point on my route, the memo gets spoken, and then it gets out of scope. This would help me tremendously deciding on unknown routes in which direction I have to go.

Another nice application for this is when you're biking a route from a friend or someone on the internet, they can annotate the route by pointing out landmarks that are worth looking at, background information, etc.

I hope to see this in a future version of Run.GPS.

Regards,
- Jorgen
