How critical is response speed for real time usage of a travel guide?

Hi Everyone! Our app is designed to be used at site and I always felt that response speed is critical for seamless app use

It appeared to be a compromise. This specially relates to audio and TTS we use. We can use very naturally sounding TTS models, but they may take about 1 minute to respond. Or we can use something which responds in 5 seconds but quality will be lower. How much do you think a user can wait for response before she shuts down the app as it takes too long?

Herodot AI - Travel at any place like with a personal local guide

We work on Herodot AI for more than two years moving from just a nice concept to truly reliable, easy to use app. Our task is to give you a feeling that you walk and travel with a knowledgeable local friend, who can guide you pretty much like a human, telling exciting stories on what is around, whatever catches your eye. Due to Google Cloud AI startups support program, we could make many of app features free. We hope you try and enjoy it on your next trip!
