I don't normally engage in defending SkyDemon any more because a) it's rarely necessary anyway b) plenty of other people do it and c) I was bored stupid of the accusations of being amongst various things a 'fanboi' and 'secretly employed by them'.
But this time Dave was not in the right. He drew a comparison between the voice alerting capabilities of SkyDemon and ForeFlight when clearly he had only experienced one of them and not the other. This can never be the basis of a solid argument... When he was challenged on this, he flounced from the discussion.
I've got masses of respect for Dave, but this time he got it wrong. Nothing more, nothing less. I just think he underestimated what SkyDemon have done and jumped to conclusions.
And, for the avoidance of doubt, and as if it needs saying again, there is no comparison between the advanced intelligent text-to-speech system that SkyDemon have created, and ForeFlight shouting a small handful of pre-defined messages out. The similarity ends with the word 'speech'.
