Hi ProductHunt,
I'm the developer of Enroute.fm. I built a toy audio app originally for my last roadtrip, but went a bit crazy and scaled the podcast pipelines to almost all of the world, hoping one day I will visit all of the places.
Why? I loved using AI tools like NotebookLLM and ChatGPT for travel narrations, but they are all limited in their own ways. Human narration apps have great quality but suffer from coverage.
How? Nothing fancy, but most of the work went into building a complex quality-controled pipeline rather than the app itself. Podcasts are powered by SOTA multi-lingo & multi-speaker TTS engines. Each script is the result of converging multiple rounds of review and factcheck (yes I burned too many tokens lol).
I enjoyed using it during my roadtrip and I hope you do too!
How does it decide which spots to highlight when there are so many in a dense area, and can you pick specific themes like food or architecture before starting the trip?
@erafettinanmmk most stories are grounded from visuals and tries to cover all the interesting aspects. It uses a scoring formula based on many factors tuned from simulated drivings and derive the top N places on the fly. Then it renders them as a playlist for skipping / selecting. It's great suggestion that the scoring could pontetially be personalized.
Curious how it picks the stopping points along a longer drive, like does it decide based on distance or points of interest, and can I skip ahead if I already know the history of a place?
@cihanomakgzs0 Poins of interests are pre-generated; Any place can be skipped, and you can select from a playlist of upcoming places.
how does it handle offline use on long drives through spotty cell coverage, especially crossing rural areas or borders where roaming gets unreliable?
@tuncayo5hl you select an area to download, like google offline map. It supports boths pre-generated podcasts and on the fly narrations. The latter is only available with cell coverage.
Love how it auto-places stories based on your location instead of you hunting for a playlist. Two-person narration format is such a smart choice, way more engaging than a single AI voice reading off dates.
Love how the two-person podcast format keeps long drives from feeling like a solo Wikipedia read. The way each stop drops in naturally as you pass by makes it feel like having a knowledgeable friend in the passenger seat.
