Modding talking hal style computer mod

ive just finished off my new box but have just thought how cool it would be to have it talking, i dont care so much about how bad it might sound but would jus love it to have a face that looked vaguely like it talked anyone know where i could maybe find a program that could help achive this..etc?

 

If you're using Windows, your can try Microsoft Agent. I'm not exactly sure how well it works though. It is free, so the price is right!

 

thank you this seems perfect for what i had in mind and as you say it dont come much cheaper!!!

 

Hey, I fopllowed the link for try and tried to play with the buttons, and what did I get? an error!`

 

its microsoft
expect that every so often...try waiting a few days

 

which buttons did u try?

 

speak, tell a joke and then I gave up.

 

Yea, Agent can be tricky. It does work pretty decently, but you've got to screw around with it to get it to do what you want. Remember, it is a Micro$oft product and free - those 2 things don't usually go well togeather!

 

Use a text-to-speach program and record phrases then set them as your event sounds.

I tried making the whole system voice controlled which worked alright until i tried using winamp with it when suddenly i was been drowned out by nirvana
