発車案内ごっこは出発案内を音声でお知らせする発車案内板です。 電車ごっこあそびに、電車のおもちゃのおともに、列車シミュレーションのおともにご活用いただけます。1時間分のパターンダイヤを作成して、iPhoneの音声案内とともに電車ごっこを楽しんで下さい! この機能限定の無料版は予告なしに仕様変更、デザイン変更、機能の追加削除をします。 機能限定版のこのアプリでも、現在の製品版とほぼ同じ機能をご利用できるようになりました。まずはチュートリアルに従って種別と駅を作成し停車駅を決めたら時刻表を作成して案内スタート。自動で種別の停車駅に合わせてアナウンスしてくれます。停車駅を考慮して自動でアナウンスを作ってくれます。 はじめからサンプルが入っているのでタップしていくだけでお楽しみいただけます。 発車案内を楽しんだ後は車内案内も楽しんじゃいましょう。 左下の編集ボタンを何度か押していくとさまざまな機能が追加され、車内案内も利用できるようになります。 右上の時計の左側にある青い電車のマークをタップすると黄色に変わります。 この状態で電車が発車すると車内案内に切り替わります。 車内案内は期間限定のおまけ機能です。予告なく公開を終了する場合があります。 機能限定版のこのアプリでは1区間(各駅停車は一駅、急行は次の停車駅)をお楽しみいただけます。まずはサンプルにはいっている各停・急行・快速で車内案内をお楽しみください。 Siriが変な読み方をした場合は発車案内板の右上の「設定」から調整することもできます。はじめは「東八王子」を「とうはちおうじ」と読んでしまいますが、この設定で「ひがしはちおうじ」と正しく読ませることができます。「普通」をアナウンス上では「かくえきていしゃ」、「特急」を「とっきゅうロマンシングカー」と読ませることもできます。読み方設定画面上の種別と駅のタブからそれぞれ設定してください。 さあ、遊び方はあなた次第です。 押し入れに眠る、この間まで現役だったiPhoneやiPadに入れてあげれば、電車ごっこの好きなお子様も大喜びですね! なお無料の機能限定版のこのアプリでは時刻表の登録が4つまで登録してお楽しみいただけます。
