| 1159773 | 2010-12-08 08:48:00 | Was the voice a computer generated one ? The voices sound fairly natural to me, but the T-u-i for Tui makes me think it is computer generated. On the other hand Poo-Puke just has to be a human interpretation. I do wonder how they get on in Aussie with aboriginal names. Some of those are real tongue-twisters too. All in all a pretty disappointing effort, and I'm pleased I don't need one. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
