Max McLean v. Vicki the robot

So I read Psalms 10 and 11 this morning and listened to Max McLean through the flash player. As I’ve said the audio can really help me focus.

But, while I’m sure Max is a nice guy and all, I’m not wild about his intonation or the background muzak.

So after Psalm 11 was done, I went to the options page and stripped out the verse numbers. Then I blocked the text and hit control-command/apple-z. That started “Vicki,” one of the standard voices in the Mac OSX text-to-speech program, reading Psalm 11 to me.

“She” did a great job. Her interpretations of the punctuation and honoring the line breaks was quite realistic without sounding syrupy. I think I’m going to use her help again.

    And so the feminization of American has finally hit the most “conservative.” Surely you know that having a female computer voice read you the Scriptures is a violation of the principles of biblical manhood and womanhood. John Robbins was right! The Federal Vision is the “New Liberalism”! Repent now, before it’s too late!
