Re: Which OS for wearables

What I mean is I know the voice used is sampled, and recorded in a few
hundred WAV files in the PAK.

What I mean is the deep male voice on the announcement system sounds
synthetic. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that a speech synthesiser
has generated a sample for each word needed, since it would be too slow in
real time.
