The computer voice on most Federation starship and fixed installation computers has been portrayed by Majel Barrett Roddenberry since the early days of the original series (with the exception of some early TNG episodes). Majel's computer voice in TOS was very rhythmic and mechanical, and in the later series' it became a far more normal-sounding female voice.
In Star Trek III: The Search for Spock , the computer voice of the USS Excelsior turbolift was played by Frank Force (a pseudonym assumed by Leonard Nimoy). Harve Bennett provided the flight recorder voice in the same movie, during the playback of the scenes showing Spock 's death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The Cardassian computer system, as used on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , is voiced by Majel Barrett Roddenberry and Judi Durand , who also voiced the Federation system in many of Activision 's video game releases. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2006 7:35 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] STFC generic vs popular starships. > Hi, > Yeah, the DS9 computer was different.
