Sure. Osmand has recorded speech snippets which you could replace. I can only recommend voice guidance in a car. Listening to the sound guidance in loud environments isn't easy. The best way to use osmand on a bike is to follow a gpx track displayed as a medium thick blue or purple line. If you are one line you are one the route, If not the you know which way to turn.
