			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After <a href="http://leatherducking.com/low-fi-prototyping">our last prototyping test</a> suffered from bad sound quality from phone to phone, I figured it would be good to test audio coming from my own phone. I made a text file with directions to read. Then I let this charming British man in the app <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speak-it!-text-to-speech/id308629295?mt=8">SpeakIt!</a> read it out loud. <a href='http://leatherducking.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/speakit.mp3'>Here&#8217;s the Speak it! audio file</a>. </p>
<p>The file is one long file with text-to-speech directions read on this format: </p>
<blockquote><p>
1. Head southeast on 5th Street toward 8th Ave.<br />
Ride about 282 feet.<br />
Then turn left onto 8th Ave</p>
<p>2. Turn left onto 8th Ave<br />
Ride about 0.1 miles.<br />
Then turn left onto 2nd Street</p>
<p>3. Turn left onto 2nd Street<br />
Ride about 0.4 miles.<br />
Then turn right onto 5th Ave</p>
<p>4. Turn right onto 5th Ave<br />
Ride about 0.6 miles.<br />
Then turn left onto Bergen Street</p>
<p>5. Turn left onto Bergen Street<br />
Ride about 0.5 miles.<br />
Then turn right onto Bond Street</p>
<p>6. Turn right onto Bond Street<br />
Ride about 253 feet.<br />
Destination will be on the left<br />
Address: 190 Dean Street
</p></blockquote>
<p>I tested it with Apple headphones (one plug in) and iPhone, using the remote on the headphones to pause after each bulk of directions. Of course I needed to know when to press play again myself, rather than getting it triggered by GPS knowing where I am. But other than that – VERY successful as the voice was loud and clear. Would definitely add info about which streets have bike path/lane to the instructions, though. I forgot about it when making the audio file.</p>
