Kinda sad but...

Sometimes I like typing inflationy things into google translate so I can hear it read back to me in that robotic female voice. Better than nothing I guess and you can have her say whatever you want. Anyone else tried this?

Yes, i used to have the computer read out an entire story to me on occasion.

...lol.

*goes and tries it*

Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men.

And later on you can have Vocaloid sing you an inflation song, or perhaps have Hatsune Miku inflate on stage.

Well now I'm curious as to how many of you tried it after I mentioned it...

Google talks now? I'm unaware...

My computers have been talking to me with Assistiveware and Cepstral voices for years. So, no, I didn't bother.

You can always hire Cyndi to pour honey into your ears. (Maybe she should get an internet 900 number...)

I wasn't aware Cyndi was still taking inflation commissions. Last I'd heard, she'd 'retired' from that line of work.

I contacted Cyndi last month, and she confirmed that she's not taking inflation commissions any more.

Yep, Cyndi's on indefinite hiatus -- she might be back someday, but she has no immediate plans due to real life keeping her busy. But her existing work that was released to the public (she did a fair amount of private commissions) is archived here:
