[EAS] What is the solution for the TTS problem?

[Bill Ruck]

Barry makes good points but there is another issue that relates to TTS.

Even the weirdest Perfect Paul is substantially more intelligible 
than the audio I have heard delivered by the State of California.  If 
I were a Station Manger I'd reject that audio on basic principles.

Once again we need to stop quibbling over the fine points at one end 
of the system and need to focus on the origination.

How exactly is an Incident Commander expected to record a .wav file 
and upload that when he's up to his neck in alligators?

Curious minds want to know.
