I&#x27;ve always wondered if there is something like this for the voice of Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (Computer). I know her voice was recorder phonetically before she died (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;io9.gizmodo.com&#x2F;the-voice-of-star-treks-computers-could-be-coming-to-bo-1786251988" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;io9.gizmodo.com&#x2F;the-voice-of-star-treks-computers-co...</a>), but I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s public access to that.<p>Perhaps transfer learning could be used to copy the style, using something like SV2TTS.

Very cool effort, but I think it sounds more like Daleks from Dr. Who.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YQLbwOGT8eM" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YQLbwOGT8eM</a>

Fun project, I&#x27;m sure, but sounds nothing like the Borg I remember.

This is cool but I&#x27;m curious why it sounds so much worse than the built in speech to text API<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;greggman.github.io&#x2F;fanfictionreader&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;greggman.github.io&#x2F;fanfictionreader&#x2F;</a><p>Which voices are available are browser and OS dependent and there&#x27;s no &quot;borg&quot; voice anymore. There used to be several alien and or non human voices but Apple removed them from the OS and most browsers just call the OS&#x27;s text to speech API<p>--correction--<p>You need to go into the VoiceOver Utilities and add all the novalaty voices back in<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;recordit.co&#x2F;ZGgw9MhepW" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;recordit.co&#x2F;ZGgw9MhepW</a>

Can this be modified to include the original voices from the 1998 <i>Microsoft Sam TTS Generator</i>, or is that voice technology not open-source?<p>ex: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tetyys.com&#x2F;SAPI4&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tetyys.com&#x2F;SAPI4&#x2F;</a>

It would be fun if you could generate a link with a hash of a message so you can send it to your friends and coworkers with a silly message that autoplays.
