Every turn comes as an early heads-up, a reminder as you close in, and the turn itself, in English or Czech, with the screen locked and the phone in your pocket. Over your helmet’s Bluetooth or the phone speaker.
English or Czech. Automatic picks Czech whenever it is in your iPhone’s languages; or choose by hand.
Music dips, then returns. Podcasts pause for a prompt. Volume never louder than your music.
Calm when you leave the route. One spoken note, then the first turn of the new route.
A voice that nags is a voice you mute. ArcRoute says each thing once, at the right distance, and otherwise stays quiet.
The turns, the roundabouts, the reroute, and a few honest words when something needs saying.
An early heads-up, a reminder as you get close, then the turn itself; two quick turns in a row come as one sentence.
Prompts play through whatever the phone is connected to over Bluetooth, or its speaker, with the screen locked.
Leave the route and you hear one recalculating note, then the first turn of the new way forward. No repeated demands to turn around.
Plan it, lock the phone, put it away. ArcRoute tells you the turns as they come and stays quiet in between.
Get the app
Straight answers on languages, helmets and what gets said. The support page has the rest.
English and Czech. Automatic speaks Czech whenever Czech is anywhere in your iPhone’s language list, even if the phone runs in English; pick a language by hand to override.
Prompts play through whatever your phone is connected to over Bluetooth, so a helmet headset works like any audio. Release the volume slider in settings and ArcRoute speaks a sample, so you can check the pairing before you set off.
It dips under each prompt and comes right back; that is the Lower background audio switch, on by default. Podcasts and audiobooks pause for a prompt either way.
Tap the speaker icon on the navigation map, or tap the figures at the bottom of the screen, then Settings, and pick Muted; both do the same. Unmuting picks up at the next turn.
Yes, as far as a saved ride does: the voice is generated on the phone, so a saved ride speaks its turns offline. Only recalculating a route needs the network.
Yes. iOS ships a basic Czech voice; download Zuzana (Enhanced) in iOS Settings, Accessibility, Read & Speak, Voices, and ArcRoute uses it automatically. The same works for English voices.
