AT&T’s labs continue to stay at it. I mean it’s clear they’ve had a knack for this kind of thing considering they’ve spun off whole companies just from their R&D department. This isn’t just another text-to-speech — this one speaks other languages too!  Especially interesting is its ability to talk in an accent if you feed one language into another’s algorithm.

If you have a lease account with Dell like I (unfortunately) do, try putting “Thank you for calling Dell Financial” into the last option. Eerily accurate.

Can’t Wait For Summer

This is from last year’s summer fun.  Can’t wait for it again this time around.
