Has anyone else tried "playing" Lounge threads with a text-to-speech program?

I've tried it using the built-in MacInTalk software on my Mac. It's a panic, especially for flame wars. It would be great if you could assign a specific voice for each of the Lounge regulars. For example, CaliforniaPeggy's "My Dear..." sound just right in the "Vicki" voice.

1. My dear bob_weaver!

I don't have anything like that.......

It does sound like a lot of fun, though!

And thank you for choosing me for your example....:blush:

"What phrase will be written on the chimperor's tombstone?" then I'll record it in "your" voice.

5. It will be a day or two - I'm going to play the responses in that thread with the

different voices built into Mac OS X, then record that and make an audio file of it, then post the link here - I have to figure out how to record it, I'll probably have to plug it into a video camera. Give me a day or two on it...
