that voice is Macintalk Ralf, and I think it's credditted in the film.

You guys are missing 1 or 2 very important movies from the 1980s. They were the badd circuits movies. Quite a few of the deck talk voices were used in those.

a long time ago back in the mid 1990s I heard a slowed-down version of the eloquence reed voice in a car commercial on tv.

on my local fox channel, in the united states, if there is a weather warning or some other emergency and i turn on the secondary audio program or sap channel, i hear ESpeak reading the emergency information. but they make espeak read very slowly.

back to the future2 uses DECtalk not only for the home's panel, but when the jacket dries and fits and stuff it uses a fucked up Paul.
edit: re War Games, yes I would like to find out what synth that was. It had some very strange artifacts I've seen nowhere else. and the movie portrays it as if it was both the professional grade, and the consumer grade. Also why would the military base have it unless it was done in software? But it's clearly not done in software because he hooks an actual box into the computer to make it talk...

I vaigly remember the CW using the zarvox voice for station IDs during their Saturday Morning programming in the mid2000s.

@30:
That's by design actually to get the message out and make it super easy to understand for everyone. The EAS uses one voice, the weather radio has a different voice for broadcasts and alerts however. THe NWS actually mandates that the alerts are easy to understand and at least in some WFO they've been looking into doing their own improvments to the voices, I dunno if they have however. Yet when the EAS was hacked in Montana it had another voice. IIRC it's up to the station in question to set the voice up correctly following the guidelines.

Sorry the movies I made refrence to earlier are called Short Circuits.

the NWS used dectalk and scansoft tom in the past.
