Q:

TTS: Ivona SDK for iOS - impelentation in Project increases the app to 200MB+

i am currently trying out ivona SDK for iOS, amazing voice and very very natural.
But the voice i am using (german female) have a voicefile with a filesize of 230 MB.
when i want to use 4 voices then my app is approximately 1GB big.
And also no use for offline. Is this voice just for the testphase? Or is it also for production?
I think its horrible to implement a few voices for a small TTS application so that the app size is very very huge...
can someone give me an answer to that?

A:

Perhaps the best solution would be to include no voices and allow the user to download which voice they would prefer to use. You could also unlock each voice as a separate in app purchase if you are attempting to monetize each voice.
