Reliable Text-To-Speech #34

Closed renemarc closed 6 years ago

renemarc commented 6 years ago

As a user, I want to reliably hear the Text-To-Speech (TTS) output so that I can reliably hear verbal notices.

Acceptance criteria

  1. It's done when the TTS output is working whenever it's invoked.

Additional details

LANnouncer seems to go offline sometimes, either because the app isn't restarting on device boot/reboot, or because it has been closed (obviously).

To avoid the first problem, a start manager app now launches it on device boot.

In case this solution isn't sturdy enough, a RESTful integration of Fully Kiosk Browser's TTS feature is ready to be used instead.
