I think all 22:37:01 <\oren\> In Toronto, we have announcements in English and French 22:37:03 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 22:37:44 King's Cross underground station's announcements come from an obvious text-to-speech synthesizer system. 22:37:49 <\oren\> I think the streetcars are only in english 22:38:11 fizzie: Why text-to-speech? Why not pre-recorded or live? 22:38:29 kerbal: I've wondered. Maybe they think it makes it easier to change the messages. 22:38:37 That makes sense 22:38:40 They did recently alter the wording of one of them, at least. 22:39:23 It used to say "use the same card to touch in and out to get the best fare", now it is "use the same [unintelligible, something longer] to touch in and out". 22:40:13 It might be trying to say something about smartphones, the machines accept Apple Pay and Android Pay. 22:41:08 <\oren\> the subways say "Please stand clear of the doors" a lot 22:41:29 On Victoria Station at semi-rush hour there's usually a live announcer doing that bit. 22:41:40 fizzie: Is that clearer? 22:41:48 Live announcing? 22:41:50 "Stand clear of the closing doors, please. Mind the doors. Stand clear of the doors! STAND CLEAR. OF THE DOORS. STAND CLEAR!" 22:42:04 Mostly they sound more emotional (frustrated). 22:42:32 Ah... maybe the text-to-speech prevents injuries from burst blood vessels 22:42:56 <\oren\> Ours uses pre-recorded samples stitched togther 22:43:34 I like one pre-recorded South West Trains announcement. "This train is experiencing difficulties, which are being dealt with. Please listen for further announcements." 22:43:39 <\oren\> "Arriving at." "Queen's Park." "Queen's Park Station." "Please stand clear of the doors." 22:43:59 That comes about maybe once a week, but it never seems clear what the difficulties are, they don't stop for any longer than usual or anything. 22:45:03 <\oren\> "The next station is." "Saint Patrick." "Saint Patrick Station." 22:46:02 I'm also annoyed by the redundancy inherent in their announcement they invariably do between Queenstown Road and Vauxhall, which goes: "This is a South West Trains service to London Waterloo, calling at Vauxhall and London Waterloo. *The next station is Vauxhall.*" 22:46:19 That last bit is so unnecessary. 22:50:04 -!- jaboja has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 22:51:21 The Stockholm ones are pre-recorded cut-up parts (i.e. each station name is separate, each number 1-something is separate, various snippets in-between connecting it all into an utterance) 22:51:50 and the seams are pretty...obvious, leading to a pretty distinct/weird melody 22:57:18 <\oren\> "To ensure safety on track conditions ahead, this train will will operate slower than normal. We are sorry for the inconvenience." 22:57:33 <\oren\> This took months before it was fixed 22:58:04 <\oren\> and then it came back on a different part of the track 22:58:36 <\oren\> s/will will/will/ 22:59:55 -!- hppavilion[1] has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 23:00:13 -!- MDude has joined. 23:04:13 [wiki] [[EWagon]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=51944&oldid=51936 * Timtomtoaster * (+513) 23:04:18 -!- LKoen has joined. 23:07:27 -!- ^v has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 23:07:52 [wiki] [[EWagon]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=51945&oldid=51944 * Timtomtoaster * (+135) 23:08:40 -!- LKoen has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 23:13:14 -!- kerbal has quit (Quit: Page closed). 23:17:50 -!- AnotherTest has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 23:18:01 [wiki] [[EWagon]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=51946&oldid=51945 * Timtomtoaster * (-82) 23:19:49 -!- ^v has joined. 23:23:01 [wiki] [[EWagon]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=51947&oldid=51946 * Timtomtoaster * (+0) 23:24:34 -!- olsner has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 23:52:36 -!- tromp has joined. 23:57:07 -!- DHeadshot has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
