Speech goes from Epcot to the living room…

We had fun tonight playing with speech synthesis in linux – I typed out commands and they were dutifully shouted by the computer, trying to get the dogs to obey, yelling random punishments at the kids, and performing other various stand-up schtick. Yes we’re easily amused. :> Brought back wonderful memories of my brother and me in the early 80’s filling the speech synthesizer at Epcot with [ fa q fa q ], hitting “go”, and sneaking away. Such delinquents.
