Ha ha ha ha ha! I just got it to say "Hey man, want to score some herring? I know a good dealer. His name is Sven." in Spanish-American accent!

Heh. I like the German accent best. It kept pronouncing "who" as "VEE Ho"

But Crystal is definitely the most understandable. Unless that's just my West Coast white boy ears acting out.

My old mac had a whole ton of voices. I used to make it record my answering machine message. Do Nowaday Macs still have that voice thing?

Oh yeah, about the Mac thing. It had voices called Fred and whatever but it also spoke things in Church Bell or Bubbles or other strange options.

I'm distressed there's no Australian accent on this website thing! BAH.

There was earlier! Maybe they removed it? Oh man, it was great! It began every single sentance with "Bruce" or "G'day" and ended it with "Isn't he beeeeeeeeeeeeeauuuuutiful?!" or "Skippy the bush kangaroo"! :)

Mine does, don't know about OS X. Not sure how to pull an audio file off it, though -- wanted to add audio to some FR stuff once.
