I don’t get it, I don’t hear anything. Am I supposed to hear something?

Edit Okay, there are Flash “Listen” buttons you can’t see if you don’t have Flash installed.

And yet, even in a browser with Flash, I hear nothing. All I see is a button that turns light blue and dark blue. Which is “play”? This is why I always rant about piss-poor UX from Google.

I still don’t hear anything. Anyone have an MP3?

Use . to add tempo. Each full-stop adds a fixed amount of time before the next word is pronounced.

Also on a related note, try Win+R this on Windows:

    mshta vbscript:CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak("Hello, Y Combinator")(Window.close)
