Finally, a company is going about producing simulated voices that are actually similar to the real thing, or at least doesn't sound totally retarded. "Did you know?" (Anyone who can name the old game-like program from long ago with that voice synth quote wins a dollar, a SAND dollar, a VIRTUAL sand dollar!) They aren't perfect yet, but in certain places it can actually be used just fine in songs. Soon, we won't need actors any more!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
