We crowdsourced transcriptions for all the clips and Simon Willison built an interactive dashboard to explore them: https://scotrail.datasette.io/scotrail/ https://scotrail.datasette.io/scotrail/
The announcements are read by voice-over artist Alison McKay: https://www.alisonmckay.com/ https://www.alisonmckay.com/
- skruger 4y agoThis will be the new soundtrack to my life. Many thanks, Matt
- jcynix 4y agoNice, but neither produces any output in Materialistic (Hackernews reader on Android) nor the Duckduckgo browser. Does play in Google Chrome. All on Android 11.
- noSyncCloud 4y agoWorks fine in Glider (HN app) in WebView on Android 12
- pingiun 4y agodo you sync up the announcements with the music? it kind of sounds like it's synced somewhat
- matteason 4y agoNo, it's completely random! After each announcement ends there's a random delay of between 0 and n seconds, where n is 15 by default but adjustable with the 'frequency' slider. I think you just end up with bits that sound synchronised because they happen to fall on the beat
- teh_klev 4y agoThis is excellent Matt. Have been following the activity on Twitter this week and it's been a lot of fun.
- matteason 4y agoThank you!
