Subject: Talking piano From: Aniruddh Patel <apatel@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 12:36:54 -0700 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear list, I can't resist sharing this with you. On the webpage below, scroll down to the video to see/hear a remarkable emulation of speech using an acoustic piano. Suggestion: The first time you watch, keep your eyes closed for about 30 seconds. Then watch the first 30 seconds again. How many words did you recognize the first time (without subtitles)? http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/mechanical-piano-hacked-to-talk-says-nothing-youd-be-intereste/ Happy Friday, Ani Patel
