All: CTA is looking for your input on the "Voice" of the auditory component
of the Bus Tracker announcements for our pilot bus shelter project.  
 
Please listen to the attached zip drive.  There are two voices, Callie
(female) and David (male).  Both voices have two samples: one for arrival
announcements, the other for alerts.  Feel free to forward this email for
review by other CTA customers who are blind or have a visual impairment.  
 
Do you prefer one voice over the other?  If so, please let us know why.  
 
I would appreciate your responses by noon this Friday, August 5.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Cara

Jon,

 

Voice samples attached. I had to shorten them a little. The online Cepstral
Demo app will only allow you to play/record a limited length message.

Brian,

 

When do you plan to provide us with the voice samples so that we can
circulate to members of our ADA community? 

 

Also, Scott had mentioned at our last phone conversation that he was
finalizing a software development schedule to provide us. When do you
anticipate that you will be able to send that over?
