Mac Speech Test
Today I was experimenting with my MacBook's built-in text to speech feature and wondered if I could record the speech. I did it by attaching my mp3 recorder to the Mac's headphone jack. I then downloaded the mp3 file, opened it in Audacity, added a music track and saved it as a wav file. I then used iTunes to convert the wav file to mp3 and add the file info.

Yo Bloj.
That is hilarious! The Mac’s text-to-speech sounds like a robot programmed to talk like Yoda.
See you soon, man.
