FWIW cycle.travel on iOS (my app!) does this for cycling directions. It's not that difficult - there's a built-in "guess the language" API in iOS, and doing a quick country polygon lookup adds a bit more context. (Not on Android yet - I've only just released the first version of the Android app and haven't had a chance to add that in yet.)
- __jonas 3y agoOh that’s very interesting! Do you use the built-in iOS speech synthesis API as well? Don’t the voices for different languages sound quite different so it’s a more jarring transition when a location is being spoken? Or is it not that noticeable?
- Doctor_Fegg 3y agoIt's a little jarring at first and, most annoyingly, iOS inserts a pause during the transition which appears to be unremovable. But on balance I greatly prefer it to "Turn left onto Playce dee lar Ree-pub-lee-queue".
