I have my text to speach client on my phone set up to use glados' voice. It's far less grating than the default voice in maps but I get a little anxious when I miss a turn because I expect her to rout the exaust into the cabin for my insolence.

Very cool. What tts client do you use and how did you manage that?

I also have the GlaDOS voice setup, by using SherpaTTS from F-Droid, with the end_US-glados-high model. Works great!

How do you get it to work with maps? I can never seem to get it to appear as an option to select.

(I've wanted glados as my phone's voice for years now)

I use CoMaps as my map app, and since I've set up SherpaTTS as my preferred speech engine, everything kind of worked automatically

I'll give it a try!

I've wanted to try moving my navigation away from Google for a while now. Hopefully I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

You must give more details on this.

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

How do you do this???

[–] shadshack@feddit.online 4 points 1 week ago

I, too, would like to know how you've got this set up.

Dammit I want a new Portal game bad...

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I heard Portal 3 is right after Half Life 3 on Valve's todo list.

[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Man, Tumblr just continues to stand the test of time... Incredible...

Whenever I see Stephen Merchant in any film or TV show I automatically think of portal 2.
