an encyclopaedic experiment
Just tried the speech function of the Google translator for the first time. Somehow cool to have such a function, but also strangely reminding of these awful vocoder voices in 80's pop music. Grrrr.
(I tried this example, both in Chinese and German with a click on the "Anhören" button. This example sentence comes from here.)
labels: language, translation, vocoder
What's going on here? Well, things are a bit messy, I must admit. I started this blog for building a little, personal musician's encyclopedia, doing it in a backwards way, starting with the letter Z. Short after reaching Y my stamina had worn down a bit, and this was put on a hiatus. However, occasionally I come back to the idea and will proceed with either the encyclopedia or some general remarks about music or the arts in general.
