חיווי קולי #56

יהיה נחמד שיהיה באפליקציה משהו שנקרא חיווי קולי כמו שיש באפליקציית צופר , שהוא מקריא את רשימת הערים שנבחרו.

Thanks for the suggestion @LievreAI, it indeed would be a nice addition, I'll look into it.

יש התקדמות לגבי החיווי הקולה ?

Yes, unfortunately Android does not have any built-in text-to-speech capabilities in Hebrew, so the only alternative is to bundle the app with thousands of sound files for each city / settlement name being read aloud along with the threat type, or to have the app download the sound bundle later.

This is what the Tzofar app does.

Since the Tzofar app does this pretty well already, and not many users have asked for this feature, it is currently on low priority. If you really care about having this feature, please use the Tzofar app alongside (or instead of) this one.
