- nubg 10mo agoThank you. The time marks in the text were way off.
- mtlynch 10mo agoThe mp3 file is malformed but playable. I get different timestamps for the same audio if I jump around.
- IshKebab 10mo agoAmazing how bad the speech synthesis is for something so safety critical.

- HNisCIS 10mo agoThis, if it sounds too human ATC is going to try to help and possibly provide vectors, as they should, but The way the system works, ATC needs to be prioritizing clearing the runway and keeping aircraft away

- alwa 10mo agoThen again I understood exactly what it was saying every time, which is more than I can say for some of the other traffic on that recording. I’m not sure synthetic-sounding means bad here.
- nradov 10mo agoThe embedded systems qualified for use in general aviation avionics have very limited hardware resources. They are severely constrained by form factor, power, and cooling. It's amazing that the developers were able to get speech synthesis working so well.
- IshKebab 10mo agoI could do better than this with pre-recorded samples for each word. Especially for the phonetic alphabet. Also avionics aren't that underpowered these days. They have full touchscreen displays and multicore CPUs.
- tylergetsay 10mo agoIt doesn't appear to me to be speech synthesis but rather prerecorded messages
