StartRobot3 Live

StartRobot3 is a talking start clock built for orienteering event starts. Run a start with no announcer needed. StartRobot3 plays timed audio messages — custom recorded clips, text-to-speech announcements, beeps, runner names from your IOF XML 3.0 start list — all locked/offset from a fixed start interval (30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes). KEY FEATURES • Mixes text-to-speech, your own recorded audio clips, and beeps into a single timed sequence • Build custom "chains" of announcements anchored to the start, end or middle of each interval, with as many chained cues before/after as you need • Clock locks to wall-clock time and uses GPS time signals to stay accurate even with no phone signal in the field • Nudge the whole schedule forward or backward by N minutes on the fly if the event falls behind or ahead • Works fully offline — no internet connection required to run a start • Loads standard IOF XML 3.0 start lists and calls out each runner's name at their scheduled start time WHO IT'S FOR Orienteering events that need a reliable, repeatable start announcer at one or more points. You could run once instance for call up and another for the start. PERMISSIONS • Microphone — only used if you record your own announcement clips • Location — only used to read GPS time for clock accuracy; your location is never stored, displayed, or shared • Notifications — shows the required ongoing notification while the start clock is running • Internet — only used if you load a start list from a URL instead of a local file StartRobot3 does not collect or share any personal data.
