OT "Jeremy, I love you"

Does anyone know of a free application that converts text to computer
speech á la the BBC micro I used to have.

I CBA to google.

 

OSX.

HTH.

 

It talks to you?

Thou truly hath the Austin Maestro of computers.

 

Ah - that was great, that was. I uncovered my old BBC micro in the loft
last week.
Must plug it in and see if it still works. ISTR it needed a new
power-supply as it kept shutting down after a few minutes of use the last
time I tried.

Back to your question, no.

Couldn't you just phone Stephen Hawking, ask him to repeat after you and
record what he says?

 

Lol.

****.

A bit more advanced, I can talk to it, too.

Even OS 7 can do that.

 

XP has it built in

Windows XP has such an application.

 

A Mac emulator? How fucking cool is that?
Just goes to prove that Macs are built on the Gates floorpan, I
suppose.

No, no.

That's *next* year.

heh, Steve Jobs ears'll be burning.

FWIW OSX is built on Berkely distro unix, which is what Steve Jobs
previous efforts at NeXT were running too...

I've just had it read out WUN's sig. Madness.

 

Yes.

 

I don't have XP which is a bit of a blow. I'd rather wanted it to create
a .wav file or some such rather than just read it out.

 

I am on the case. Cheers.

You might have to convert the text to .pdf first...

There are web based applications out there that can convert text to a
wav. Dunno if they can do lots of text though.

 

Bugger.

I had to have more surgery yesterday because I burst some stitches *1, looks
like I may have to stay away from the group until I heal.

*1 I was down in Pattaya and gently strolling across the road when out of
nowhere this ZX10R appeared complete with shirtless brit rider. I looked up
at him and realised that he was going to lose it so I ran across the road
and jumped over a pile of bricks. The rider barely controlled it. In the UK
he prolly rides a scoot. It wasn't the running that did but the leaping.
Tough decision, die or pain.
