mcbpete Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah the old Apple one really had a definitive sound, the nearest I've found to the one used on 'Fitter Happier' is the built in Amiga speech engine.

Guest Helper ET Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 ok well then i guess just a vst with a little text box would be fine if the sound wasnt too horrible. i dont want to to sound like a fly, or a creepy child, just a normal male/female or robot voice thanks again also on a slightly differnet topic, im also looking to somehow abstract the audio file from videos i download off of google video and youtube with the realplayer download video function, i imagine this cant be too hard.
