Seems I had taken a moment between sentences to poke around in some of the tabs at the top of my word processor — you know, up there where it says File Edit Insert… Under Edit I found Speech, and I thought it meant I could dictate text instead of typing it in. Lo and behold, my computer started to read the text I’d written in a monotonous robot voice!
I got nothing done for the rest of the morning.
As a Christmas treat, I’ve uploaded one of my “humorous verses” to delight and annoy you.
Enjoy the robot’s reading of “Smelly Donut.”
You can read all my “humorous verses” here.
Hurhurhurhur!!!!!
Okay. Smelly donut caused me to laugh. Don’t know if I can hold up for the rest.
Proceed with caution. β
Will do.
I’m just so glad that’s not your real voice … it isn’t your real voice, right?
No, no it’s not. But you CAN hear my real voice here: https://kevinbrennanbooks.wordpress.com/our-children-are-not-our-children/ (I’m sure you’ve already sampled my fine baritone…)
Oh, that’s right, I did take a listen to your reading. Of course, I was joking about the robotic voice being your own π
The robotic voice reminds me of the computerized NOAA weather forecaster … The forecaster used to be a real person so it was a bit jarring when one morning, we heard a robotic voice instead. My hearing is such that it strains my nerves trying to differentiate the words. I don’t listen to those forecasts any more.
And, yes, I’ve sampled your baritone. ‘Nuff said π
The robots are going to take over one day. π±
Hopefully not in my life time π
