Hi PH Community – I completely rewrote this location-based audio guide iOS app I originally built in 2008, now with modern SwiftUI and OpenAI text-to-speech. Please give it a try and share your feedback! Cheers, Björn
Yes, that ia definitely an issue with TTS. Caching is a good idea too!

Looks cool, I will try it on my next trip... Are there any country restrictions, or is it available everywhere?

 Thank you! It is available globally, as long as there are Wikipedia articles for locations within 5 km radius :)

Turning Wikipedia into location-aware audio guides is genius — it's like having a knowledgeable local guide powered by the world's largest encyclopedia. How does it handle areas with sparse Wikipedia coverage?

 Thanks for the feedback! It relies on Wikipedia articles being available :(
