This key is used to specify whether the departures board on a public_transport=platform or a public_transport=station supports a speech output that can be requested by pressing a button. It is assumed that the speech output is in the local language. If it is available in another or additional language, a language suffix can be used.
How to map
Add the =* key to the object (e.g. the platform) that also has the departures_board=* key. For departures boards mapped as individual nodes, speech_output=* should be used instead.
Examples
- If there is a button to trigger a speech output, use
=yes. - If there is no button to trigger a speech output, use
=no. - If a departures board in germany provides german and english speech output, use
departures_board:speech_output:yes=*departures_board:speech_output:en=yes
-
Example for=yes
Common mistakes
| Incorrect Tagging | Explanation/Better Tagging |
|---|---|
Mapped as single node with:
|
The lack of any other tags makes clear that this object is supposed to represent the departures board itself, so only speech_output=yes should be used.
|
At a train station in Germany.
|
The language suffix "de" is unnecessary for a station in germany, because speech output in German is assumed the default. Use =yes instead.
|
|
=* should not be used without departures_board=*.
