Cool system. But they really need to change that voice.

[@realquadmoo]

Why?

[@thegreypenguin5097]

@@realquadmoo first of all why is the announcement "doors to MY right" not "doors to THE right" it sounds extremely strange and isnt used anywhere else. some of the pronunciations are very weird. it seems like they tried to humanise what obviously sounds like AI

[@realquadmoo]

@@thegreypenguin5097 Actually it's also used in Portland as well as plenty of other systems. You are just not used to it but that's genuinely such a childish thing to pick at.

[@realquadmoo]

@@thegreypenguin5097 Also, it's a text to speech voice just like a lot of systems. For example, BART uses Sharon. We use Ashley. I do have issues with two of the pronunciations on the S700 2 Line announcements. Our Kinkisharyos have a more edited version of Ashley that sounds a little bit different.
