You can have so much fun harassing people using the Win2K text-to-speech engine...

The voice synthesis is very good for handling stupid solicitors, plus playing a few prank calls of your own on your unsuspecting coworkers.

I've had this same kind of fun with the text-to-speech synthesizer that came with the original SBPro. One time I typed in something to the effect of an announcement that you just won $50,000 from a contest that you entered. I called up my mom's friend, held the phone up to the speaker, and...

You could here the lady going into hysterics! I hung up... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[Fandu]

Please elaborate. Can this be done remotly?
