I don't remember the website offhand, but if you go to http://www.nerdcorehiphop.org
and click on MC Hawking - A brief history of Rhyme or something, I
think that's what it's caled, you can buy it there.

Hi Justin,
If you want, I can send you an entire CD album of MC Hawking hits.
He's able to make dectalk rap, and is the one who made the song
"all my shootings be drivebyes" which you may have seen on the
dectalk archive. But, I have the entire CD if you want it. Also,
you might want to check out Flint Millions vocalwriter speech page
at http://speech.themillionweb.net . The VocalWriter is for the
Mac, but unfortunately at this time isn't accessible with
VoiceOver apparently. What I'm wondering is how is Flint using it
then?

Hello all
You may be wondering about the subject line. I'll try to make it
quick.
I recently got this idea to make a playlist of songs that use
synthesized speech. I know we have a lot of synthesized speech
in the blind community, songs that are made by blind people that
essentially are all with synthesized speech. I have the jaws
rap, and the happy birthday/ he's a jolly good fellow, which was
done with the dectalk voices, which I think I will put on this.
There is the skit "whose on ffirst" that I would like to put at
the beginning and I hope that Josh won't mind this. But there
are also songs that just average artists make that include
synthesized speech. Right now I am listening to "keep talking"
by pink floyd which I think features the synthesized speech that
Stephen Hawking used to talk with. I think I have another techno
mix that seems to use the apple voices. I also have one about
robots "f***ing" in the park which features our darling victoria
in the mac community. These are, to the best of my knowledge,
made by sighted people that sighted and blind alike enjoy
listening to once in a while.
So when I have a playlist of songs like this, I would like to
offer them up in burned CDs for my lab class at Berkeley. I bet
we all get a lot of questions about the synthesized speech that
we use that no one can understand, but I suspect that lots don't
really know how much they themselves use synthesized speech. I
just felt like this would be a really cool form of outreach that
would help me put myself out there, and that would make us not
seem so strange. Does this make any since.
So this request is for any songs that include synthesized speech
that any of you may have. I would really much more prefer music
that is just mainstream stuff like the pink floyd, but some songs
directly from the blind community would be considered for
inclusion as well.
I'm so sorry this message has been so long, but I think you for
reading up to here, and I sure would be happy if you could help
me out with this. I would like to have the CD done up and ready
as soon as possible as we have midterms and finals and then the
end of the term coming up in mid may which means that there is
not much time left. Again thanks for your time, and please
please please see if you could come up with anything.
Regards
Justin Harford
