Opera 8 beta with a familiar voice
« on: January 23, 2005, 07:09:55 AM »
Opera 8 beta was recently released http://www.opera.com/download/

So I installed it and gave it a go , and it seems to work OK.

I was really surprised when I had Opera read back selected text from a webpage. It sounds identical to my A-500's translator device when using the 'say' command from CLI!

I had to be sure, so I fired up my Amiga, and gave 'Say' a listen, and sure enough, same voice. It would apear that the Amiga lives on....

Thanks for the link, very interesting. I also see that I was wrong in mentioning the translator device. I should have made reference to the narrator device instead.
