Milan: Pinacoteca di Brera Audio Tour
The selection of artworks included in the guide is ok and the text that is being read is fine. The big problem is that the text is being read by a speech syntheziser and not a human. Listening to the synthezisers weird pauses, rythm and mispronunciations is painful. When paying for an audio guide I expect that is it’s read by a human.
