I can't stop playing w/AT&T's Text-to-Speech demo. For some reason I find it funny to make confusing voicemail messages for the people calling my cellphone. A few examples I created: - Several ways to contact me (.wav)- My computer voicemail is having a conversation before they help (.wav)- Fake iPhone v3 software (.wav)- Too many calls (.wav) When you are finished making your own, hold the phone up to your computer speaker to record the vm onto your phone. Have fun w/it.
