New voice for iMi prompts
Submitted by Ransom
We're just finishing an update to the app that moves text-to-speech synthesis from the server to the app itself, and this will have a bunch of benefits:
1) easier on the server
2) a better voice (female) where the pitch is higher and easier to hear in a noisy environment
3) in-app (ad hoc) intervals now have speech as well
4) The app will get some new sources for interval workouts: Garmin Connect and Cadence TV.
1-3 are complete, working on #4 now. The app will process all existing loaded workouts and generate the new speech files.
Look for this exciting update to drop at the beginning April 2013. I think this is a big enough change that we'll be updating to version 3.0.
