I’m a big fan of WarGames.

It would be great to have something that could speak like Joshua.

I had a Votrax back in the 80s, similar to the following, which was awesome:

Joshua was actually voiced by actor Jim Wood (Falken), though. Jim read the lines backwards and then they chopped it up and did some audio processing on it:

Oh really, it doesn't sound too dissimilar to text to speech software in the 80s.

Never knew that, thanks!
