Beschreibung At the REAL80 Racing Club, we aim to run our club events in full automatic mode. Currently, one key limitation is preventing us from achieving this, and I would like to request a feature enhancement to address it.

While the existing text-to-speech functionality is helpful, it is quite limited. The available voices are unclear, and the pre-recorded messages are restrictive. In particular, driver names are often pronounced incorrectly when using the default Windows text-to-speech service.

Would it be possible to integrate support for more advanced text-to-speech solutions, either through local or cloud-based AI services? This would allow text to be converted into more natural, human-like speech. Ideally, the announcements panel could send custom text to a text-to-speech API, enabling the use of higher-quality voices—either via cloud services or locally hosted solutions.

I’m a big fan of MyRCM, and this feature would make it even more powerful. I believe it would also be highly valuable for other clubs. With improved automation, the timekeeper could participate in racing as well, which is currently difficult.

For local TTS, I’ve also looked into Kokoro. However, hosting and maintaining containers requires a bit more work, and at the moment I believe Deepgram Aura is the better option.


Of course, if you have other suggestions or would like to discuss the possibilities further, I’d be happy to have a conversation.
