Am I the only one who makes the speech tool in the control panel say things? It's hilarious, yesterday I tried to make him do a kool-aid man impression. "OOOOOH YEEEAAAH!!!!"

Yes you are.
EDIT: Oh, must be a Windows XP thing. :(
I had no idea this thing existed until now. Oh, the sweet pleasures of courting lady General Chat never cease.
He can't say fhqwhgads or BAoTW very well. His edczxcvbnm is most impressive, though.
what?
I never messed with it. David and Tyler played withit in french class al ittle last year.
GeeZ, I never even heard about it. Where the heck have I been?
It's funny for about five minutes, when you're just playing with it by yourself after first finding it. After that, it's kinda meh. Especially when you get idiots in computer classes who huddle around it, furiously typing mispelled words to get it to say something dirty, giggling like children all the while. It gets real old after that.
Ha, I totally forgot about this thing! :D
I'll have fun tonight. Being immature is grand!
My cousin and I played around with it a few years ago. It was fun for a while, but we eventually got bored with it.
Something that we still joke about today is his pronounciation of the alphabet. "Abkudef Gik Lnohp Crustive Wuxes." Mainly the Crustive Wuxes part.
Another thing Brad found was his pronouciation of "soy" (and "soi" at the end of a word). Play with it yourself if you feel like it.
This is the coolest smurfing thing I've ever seen.
I send text messages to my house phone, because the phone rings and then a automated woman reads it out. It's fun. :cool:
Oh. That control panel. I thought there was a speech thingy in the eoff user control panel. How much of an idiot am I? (rhetorical question.)
You can download other voices right? Microsoft SAM sounds like a robot or doped up Ste Hawking.
I used to do it a lot. I used to cover rap songs with it. :cool:
So THAT'S how you get him into bed with you.Quote:

Kagga:love:
Oh man, I only thought this thing existed on Macs, we play with it in school a lot. Awesomesauce. Thanks for showing us it. I did "OH YEEEEAH" too. :D
I tried edczxcvbnm with MICROSOFT SAM, and he WAS good at it.Quote:

Whoa there, you got it all wrong, sure my intents are evil but I just get him to tell me the answers for my exams, all you need is some Microsoft sam, a long word and he's out.Quote:

How do I make it work? Whenever I click on Speech it just comes up with the properties stuff.
Omg this is the coolest thing to do on a computer
lmao I tried that too. It's like a monotone Snoop Dogg.Quote:

EDIT: Oh you mean the Playback TTS thing on XP
On Windows XP
Start -> Control Panel -> Sound, Speech, and Audio Devices -> Speech -> Text to Speech tab
i'll check it out when I go to my sisters
nearly everything is blocked in these international Halls
He's in the international Halls! That means he's president! Hey, everyone! President!Quote:
