I might try to make a more sophisticated one later. Witty script-writing suggestions wanted.


Note the blimp passing by in the background.

A tip: you have to experiment with weird phonetic spellings of certain words in order to get the computer to say them right.

I did that, or it would be far worse! The worst part is making the computer emphasize words properly. Apparently the English nearly swallow the word "has" when it's not used to directly mean "possess." I finally changed 'has" to "possess"!
