Service Pronunciations #92

Open QuinnyPig opened 1 year ago

QuinnyPig commented 1 year ago

Want me to submit a few audio recordings of "peculiar" pronunciations for some of these services? Nobody will agree with my choices and that's half the fun...

If so, it probably makes sense to have two options: "actual pronunciation" and "deranged pronunciation" so people can choose their own adventures...

Sounds like a great idea, except the part of the "actual pronunciations", that now one will agree with 😅

Maybe I need to get at least a Native American, a Native British, and Corey Quinn, to reduce the change of spam emails complaining with my definition of actual pronunciations.

Let me think on the UI for that to give it proper attention on the App and still feel organic.

Can you compile a list of the services that you have in mind as a goal to record the names?

I did a quick python to generate the services names with Amazon Polly and the results are not perfect but better than I expected. https://github.com/tigpt/AWSary/commit/170bd0f672d943c6c87dab26fad62eb1522c6b1d

I can deploy Polly interpretations alongs side with yours for now. What do you think?

Here is a sample of 2 voices one US one GB AWS services speech polly.zip

I got a crazy idea. I put Polly on all services and your voice in some of them.

Then once people play/find your voice in all (or X amount of services) they unlock some pearks, example a custom icon that is themed with the "Screaming Cloud" colors and logo.

@QuinnyPig what do you think ?

Hi @QuinnyPig hope you are great.

I'm finishing a app update that add some features, including App services pronunciation by Amazon Polly.

The ideas was to hide some easter eggs on some services where not only show Polly interpretation but also yours.

Example, service with only Polly (most of the services) image

But some services where your audio interpretation is available it would show: image

We can even go extra mile and unlock some peark if the user finds 5 or more of your interpretation on the app.

You can test te latest build on TestFlight, that I'm working on: https://testflight.apple.com/join/V29zWbIF (at the moment no service show your name since I have no recordings)

What do you think, do you still want to record some AWS interpretations of services names ? Best regards,
