Hi all, There was a thread about this a few weeks ago and I mentioned that I was working on one with a "Stephen Hawking" voice - well here's a video: https://youtu.be/lmg0YsHlB3g So far it's not GPS controlled but that will come one day. Cheers, Morris

Hi! Now you should try with a Dalek voice :-) Edésio On Mon, Aug 08, 2016 at 09:28:26PM +1000, Morris Odell wrote: > Hi all, > > There was a thread about this a few weeks ago and I mentioned that I was > working on one with a "Stephen Hawking" voice - well here's a video: > > https://youtu.be/lmg0YsHlB3g > > So far it's not GPS controlled but that will come one day. > > Cheers, > > Morris > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there.

Morris Can I order one with a custom voice ? Say Dolly Parton or Sean Connery? After about 15 minutes of the Steven Hawkins one I would be tempted to adjust the tone with an 8lb sledge hammer 8^) -- Dave Manuals@ArtekManuals.com www.ArtekManuals.com PS: why the talking GPS "Nagigator" of Bob & Tom fame or the Folks over at Ford havent figured out Custom Voice as as after market money generator is beyond me

Tomtom had custom voice capability for sat nav years ago, seems to have disappeared now but I can, from personal experience, confirm how quickly John Cleese giving 'funny' directions becomes annoying.

I would like to find an emulator of the old voice synthesizer used in the Atlanta airport subway. "The next stop is concourse A. The color coded maps in this vehicle match the station colors." "This vehicle is leaving the station, please hold on." They replaced it in 1996 for the Olympics but I remember it as if it was yesterday...

I want the voice of Forbin's megalomaniacal computer saying, "This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace...."
