[1 Dismissal] So, what *are* announcements?

Here we have an announcement.

It having "rrr"s in would suggest that it's HoS's actual voice, right? But then, why does this happen when I make an announement using the captain's spare?

Can we please actually make clear whether it's audio or TTS? I'd suggest that it's TTS, because it requires the least code work (we just need to specify this at the announcement GUI) and also allows for interesting opportunities with voice obfuscation. Besides, we already have convincing TTS technology at telecomms. If it's audio, however, I'd suggest to make it work like an universal recorder. But then again, it would require to revamp announcements completely, since it could have multiple speakers and audio emotes.

It is general assumed that it can both be typed in and imputted through TTS. Nothing needs to be changed.

 

1. ...you understand that TTS is already typed in, riiight?..

2. Doesn't seem so, because all the tajara command members keep putting rrrrs in there despite it being typed. A small notice at the announcement menu would be helpful to indicate that it is actually typed.

Here is a clarification. I meant speech to text. Apologies, I assumed the terms were interchangeable.


Anyways. This is not an aissue worth changing code over. Some people see it as similar to code changes, where it's kind of up in the air wether it is a broadcast or a notification. Some people take it to be an announcement.


It's nonsensical to change around code for something that already works perfectly well in the sense of the game.

It's a very minor code change, if we specify it to be TTS, and a one which I can do myself. "why devote time to this" isn't an argument - I'm ready to devote my time to this and code this. If it's, uh, not audio. But I can still try?

I've always treated it as my character's voice over a PA system, and I will continue to.

 

This. I have always that it was character's voice because you speak into the PA system.

Voting for dismissal. Creating mechanics to distinguish what an announcement is would be fruitless, because it doesn't really matter what an announcement is.

I am not really sure where this gui notice should be put.

Any specific ideas ?

 

Small text notice on top/underneath? I'm imagining it kinda like integrated circuit descriptions. Inobtrusive, below the main part.
