if you meet your screen reader's voice in real, what is the first thing you'll do/say to her/him?
#2 chai
that that's is not the same as sets. Also that i want her to speak even faster then now
#3 thespyde
It depends on which voice I'm using. I might not say anything to it, just grab and hug, he-he!
#4 marchoffmann
Few lol. Imagine hugging some weird eloq/vocalizer xd
#5 marchoffmann
I personally would ask it what it thinks about me and all the stuff I had it read and thank it to keep up with me rofl.

dear elequince. I would just like to inform you that it's a bit strange that your standing in frunt of me right now, given that you're a synthasized voice model, or at leest clame to be.
has it happened, are you here, along with your race of aliens to come take over the world and clame it for the glorious empire of IBM? or are you a spy sent down by said alien race to see why exactly it is that jaws sucks? because if so, I can give you the answer. It's simply that... visparro is a scam!
Anyway, all that and a side of pixels aside, given, of cource that you've been my trusted TTS for the last 4 1/2 years, I am of cource blind. what do you look like? Are you that averege 1.80CM american male? or are you simply what many people think of you as? that being the tiney blob of code on a server in california somewhere?
I apreciate your cooperation. your's untruely: A proud NVDA user

Yeah it would be a pleasure to meet with eSpeak Max lol
When we were children, we with friends usually joked about what our voices might think about us while reading. They could go like hmm, I'm sorry but I am not going to read this shit any further, yaaawn this is boring, turn this off.
And when I started to read the Witcher and the android app had a glitch which for some reason sometimes stopped the playback of a very old version of Profivox, a hungarian synthesizer. Then I was like yeah, I guess profivox doesn't want to read any further, and I understand the feelings of everyone, but I still want to read it until the end :D

I can't. It's not a person, I'm seemingly on drugs right now so leave me alone.

Read, let's just forget about all of the horrific things you have read because of me. Let's shake on it, pal.
#16 turbogamer
Yo there, e speak! You know, lets just save between us what you had read over all time of me using you and... Lets be friends you know and not share that dark secrets of ours? You're reading is good, though, thanks?

hi ms sam

Oh, that's an interesting question. The funny thing is that I indeed sometimes have the person in front of me. I'm using a voice of a female friend. And if she has the time, she visits me.
What I often say to her is that I'm happy that I can use her voice on my pc and also on my iphone.
#19 marchoffmann
Do you use personal voice, acapela or something?
#20 Janagirl
@19 It's acapela my own voice. And I remember we talked about that in a german forum a while ago.
