James BrownI wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.
Hylke Bons ๐ฅ@ancientjames thank you.

Chris Samuel@ancientjames @voltagex oh great! Fond memories of listening to that after midnight on Radio 4 when I was living in Aberystywth as a student. I wonder what it would make of Les Barker's version? ๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsgtnFzFKNo

Lenni@ancientjames @hbons I want this guy to live in my terminal and read whatever I pipe their way ๐ฑ

Paul Matthews@ancientjames love it, how does it work?

๐พ@ancientjames It has taken 2000 years for technology FINALLY to become actually useful. Genius.
Chloe G artist@ancientjames this deserves a knighthood or some kind of medal. Genius
AzureArmageddon@ancientjames Omg I love this! Should be its own little package with Nerd Font glyphs that could hook up to a TTS package. If only I were so motivated.
Matt ๐ถ (LordMatt)@ancientjames I love this so much.
Erpel@ancientjames do you have this code somewhere public available?
Schicke Schicke Schweine@ancientjames please turn that into something I can install!!!
@SchickeSchickeSchweine I'm very tempted to do that. At the moment the fun bit is layered on top of a bunch of other systems that aren't really shareable.
Toni Aittoniemi@ancientjames This is the kind of technological innovation I like to see!!! ๐ข

theothertomFinally a good reason for the terminal to have emoji support!
Tim Drew@ancientjames I am here for this
Ponda@ancientjames It should change between closed-mouth emoji when not talking!
Ian Rudderbutt@ancientjames finally, a good use for computers
DidekGenius, please share the source!
nek0@ancientjames Thanks. I needed this.
Vincent Willcox@ancientjames that's amazing
willow@ancientjames this is so joyful
Ashley Rolfmore (leymoo)
David Harper@leymoo @ancientjames Oh, thatโs rather good :)
Trying to place the voice, though. Itโs not one of our current teamโฆ
Steven Reed@thatdavidharper @leymoo @ancientjames I recognise it and feel like I should know who it is, but my memory is shot these days. It gives me warm fuzzy vibes though, so probably 90s?
@thatdavidharper @leymoo @ancientjames https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT229KbRA-o - Peter Jefferson? My little autistic brain is about as useless with voices as it with faces ..
Shipping Forecast read by Peter Jefferson
@srtcd424 @leymoo @ancientjames Might be him! I certainly recognise the voice, but I think he pre-dates my time in Broadcasting House.
pgcd@ancientjames this is the future we deserved, nay *demanded*
