Text to speech with an animated cartoon

Wed Feb 07, 2007 6:44 pm

Type something in and the cartoon lady will say it. Some of the voices are robotic sounding. But some are nice. I think the UK voices sound more real than some of the U.S voices. It is funny to have the lady speak in a male voice. I don't know why there isn't a male charactor, but I can't make it change into a male, but maybe there is a way.

After you do a few of the voices it won't let you play with it anymore. It just refreshes and says thanks for trying it.

It's extraordinarily fun to have them say things they can't pronounce. Or say something stupid in English and then have one of the other accents (non-English, like Swedish or Chinese) say it.

Try 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'. In English, it's funny enough, but in other languages/accents, it doesn't sound like nonsense, it actually sounds like another language. o_o

'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis' is good, too.

'Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphio-paraomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonop-tekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon' sounds like it would be fantastic, but it sounds like they skip over a lot of it. Or maybe they're just talking way too quickly. :(

And an easy way to get around the 'after a few voices you can't use it anymore' is to just clear the cookies from that site.

This is fun, but the character always looks so annoyed with what I'm forcing her to say. She's a cartoon! She should be happy to say, "Pudding should get more chocolate."

That's a weird accent.
