There used to be these commands in the pre OS-X TTS system that let you specify arbitrary pitch/timing for the synth. People could make songs with it.
The Amiga speech device had a nice phoneme grammar you could use to make it say all sorts of odd things.
The one that stuck with me, and still amuses my kids, is 'uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu' on the Amiga (comes out as "yuyuyuyuyuyu" in a slightly descending tone).

So desperate to get this to work...but no avail! I made the bookmarklet in my firefox toolbar with the javascript code. I open google translate, click the bookmarklet...nothing happens. My roomate thinks it's an error with the bit.ly redirect Any suggestions? I want it SO BAD
This is what you need to do to get it to work: 0. Use fix close quote on bit.ly redirect if you are using the parent comment... javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).src="http://bit.ly/googlebeat"})() 1. Load Google Translate: http://translate.google.com 2. Load the bookmarklet. 3. Click the new buttons at the bottom of the page. See the howto from the gist: https://gist.g…
Thanks for the response. I got it! But the play button doesn't seem to work...not a big deal.
A tip for composers, use commas and periods for rests

#96Would it be practical to make remote calls to the listen function? Usage: if I want to have a webpage read speech automatically to the user after a javascript event, without showing the google page. I expect the first step would be loading the page in a hidden iframe.
That actually is fairly similar to a webapp I built in 30 minutes a few months ago. I had the idea to build a webform that lets you type in some text, and the computer reads it back.
If you are using OS X, you should be able to use the `say` command to create a recording of a voice speaking a sentence. You could likely take that, pipe it into a file and serve it up in an tag and play it from javascript that way.
I might try hacking my project to do exactly that. However, I think a sane solution for you would be to make use of system accessibility options or screen readers. The downside there is that you can't call into those from a user's browser.

It doesn't work because Firefox doesn't support mp3 format through html tag.
This script supports only Safari and Chrome by now.

#98Here's a basic hiphop beat. You can use punctuation for timing:
German: bk, th, bsch, th, pv, th, bschk, ds, bk, th, bsch, th, pv, th, bschk, ds
Thanks to iamdave for the instrument list x)

> Regarding Fatzke: "zk" is not in one syllable either. Yes, that's what I was trying to say. But since it's not compound, it's not as bad. By the way, if you want a genuine example of strange sounds in German look at Herbst or Pfründe. Fun fact: If you can pronounce Streichholzschächtelchen, you automatically gain German citizenship.
My first long German word was Schwarzwälderkirschtorte. Nowhere near as difficult as yours.
The standard example is supreme court vs Bundesverfassungsgericht. The chief difference is in spelling.
I had a phase, where my German looked much more English---I put spaced inside compound words and did not capitalize all nouns. I should try capitalizing all Nouns in English one Day.

There still are! Macintalk hasn't changed much since then.
