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?

I think in travel apps real-time doesn’t just mean now it means right now. Delayed responses on things like flight changes gate updates or museum hours can totally mess up your plans if you’re offline or in a hurry.
