The story
Onboard Train Announcements are Now Available in Multiple Languages
Previously, train conductors’ announcements were made only in Japanese, but now conductors can use audio files created by ReadSpeaker TTS (text-to-speech) software via their tablet to optimize in-train broadcasting in Japanese and English. It is now possible to make normal and emergency announcements in multiple languages, thus improving service to passengers from overseas.
