I completely agree. Is there a way to revert this behavior to use flite again, with the current release of Mappero?
While I like the speech options, I really did like the old version that just piped output via a command call to flite (or eSpeak). Would it be possible to re-enable that option for those of us that prefer the older style? "Turn right" is great, but even a robotic voice of "Turn right onto Culver Ave" is often better when I'm focusing on driving. Even if it mangles the name, I can make good guess out of say Monroe, Culver and Brooks which street I want. Could there just be a radio-button option? Use clear speech, or use eSpeak?
That's *way* less helpful than when it used to use flite, which I made a script that used espeak instead. With espeak/flite, it would actually say "turn right at exit 103 to Sand Hill Road", or similar. Having it just say "turn right" is almost totally useless. Why bother? Why not just feed the whole instructions to espeak like it used to do? ;'( This is very bad I don't like it at all. -Robin
