Information technology in the service of Russian Railways

It all started on a beautiful winter morning, at one of the suburban stations of the Yaroslavl direction of our wonderful railway.

Maybe for some this news may not seem new, but I was surprised.

On the other hand, after all, what kind of savings, instead of paying a live speaker, it’s enough to buy a voice engine (or find a free one) and drive the whole text into a speaker.
