Re: Matt and Text to Speech

[(Anonymous)]

SAYRT - You don't have to, cause, well, you might not even like my fics. But if you feel like it, yes, I'd love to have my stories sanity-checked. Suggestions would be great. Anything is welcome, I'd like to think I'm pretty open towards concrit. And not just for the disability things.

My DD fics are here: http://archiveofourown.org/users/tj_teejay/works?fandom_id=3352745

Some of them are fairly long, and I don't blame you if you wanna comb through all of them. I'm pretty much a whumpy h/c addict, so I hope you're into that. :-) Also, I'm not a native speaker, so there's that too. *ducks*

They don't all reference text to speech, do they? I mean, I can give you constructive feed back on all of them, but I would like to start with the ones more relevant to this thread, if that makes sense?

SAYRT - Heh, no, they don't all reference text-to-speech. Come to think of it, I think only one of them does, and that one is a WIP that I haven't even posted yet.

Although there's a few sections in Nine Circles of Hell (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4275270) where Matt uses speech recognition.

But thanks for the food for thought. Now I kinda wanna write a fic where Matt lovingly explains why he likes a certain voice better than others, or why maybe even uses different ones for different things. And I need to go and find those features on my own computer so I can sample ALL THE VOICES. :-D

The one thing I can definitely relate to in this regard is my SatNav. Even though I'm German, I usually use the female Irish English voice, cause I just like the accent, and I'm an English nerd, so there. But even if I switch it to German (if there are other Germans in the car, for instance), the voice has to be female. I don't even know why.

I would love to read that fic! (Mostly the one that's not your WIP, but if you want to send the relevant section to me over email it's dustysoulss @ gmail.)

But yeah. One of the really cool things about tumblr is I get to see other people gushing about their text to speech and I feel all connected to them ^.^
