Vehicle announcements (AVA)
Close the communication loop with audio and visual messaging.
Take your on-vehicle messaging to the next level with SPOT’s onboard announcement package. Designed for 21st-century transit, this powerful, next-generation solution integrates with all your audio and visual equipment to provide bumper-to-bumper alerts to passengers. Complete with GPS-triggered controls, custom playlist creation, and multi-sensory engagement, this messaging solution delivers ADA compliance and an unparalleled amount of control to define and enhance your rider’s transit experience.
While text-to-speech may be a common solution, ETA advocates for the advantages of professionally-recorded audio in announcements. We believe that the experience of infusing regional dialects and multilingual capabilities enhances the passenger experience beyond anything a computer is capable of synthesizing. We’re so convinced that you’ll see the difference, that our onboard announcements include professional voice talent for the life of your contract and you get to choose the artist!
Custom recordings are often turned around in as little as one traininess day, negating the most common concern for professional audio announcements.
Features:

Enhance your announcements with crystal clear professional, voice talent—multilingual and dialect support included.
