Title: HAL 9000
Post by: Rick Daly on April 18, 2018, 01:30:04 am

I would SO love to see Amazon add the voice of HAL the computer to their Echo voice options. Anyone think this could happen in the future?

“I’m sorry Rick, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
But yes, I’d love to hear a HAL 9000 voice option.

So far, the only voice options I've seen on any of the AI, is Siri can be a Male or Female voice. I understand there is a possible UK accent and a US accent in the Alexa voices, so there seems to be *some optional* voices... but they sound the same to me except the accent.
