holy shit.
so for YEARS i've thought that google maps just spoke in a really stilted voice for everyone.
turns out it was just because both my and pet's midrange phones were too slow. for basic speech synthesis.
i got a new high end phone today and it just speaks fluently. instead of "in two hundred metres. at the roundabout. take the... first... exit." it's just "in two hundred metres, at the roundabout, take the first exit."
gooooOOOOGGLLLLLEEEE!!!
