Try it! - Does anybody know the name of the electroninc voice that gladly passes your txt on for you?
We could name em!
Is the voice that speaks your text message still Tom Baker?
When it first happened I texted a few friends with the message:
"Hello, it's the Doctor here. The daleks are coming. Run for your lives"
It amused the hell out of me for weeks.

Is it still Tom Baker? Getting him to swear is highly juvenile, but fun.
Bl**dy irritating to receive. I have a friend who keeps doing it, I just put the phone down.
hellloooo, I have a mobile, text to that.
Or am I just old?:(

It's a bit of a challenge (albeit a rewarding one I feel!) trying to get them to swear, as they've got filters to block out foul language.
R's works, as does 'Far Q' etc!
Oh the joys!!

I did that too! :lol:
I think they just used Tom Baker for a while to promote the service, it's a female voice now AFAIK.

Do it all the time at work, send them to other peoples extensions via the free text messages you get online.
Probably should grow up, but it passes the time when your bored.

I dont,
found out you could by the deaf society who helpfully sent me a letter informing me about it. (Not that it is of any use because I can't understand what the person says!)

I'm surprised no-one has developed a phone that has a little doll attached to the top. When the phone rings it can alert you by waving its arms, and then when the other person speaks it can translate the words into signing.

That's a bugger.
I am just starting to learn how to sign. My last girlfriend was recently assessed as being 45% deaf, having a conversation was difficult unless I faced her, as she only lip-read. Making suggestions in bed with the lights off was a nightmare, far easier to just grab her and throw her into the position I wanted her in, rather than shout things and let the whole street know what was about to occur.
Way back years ago I taught an apprentice who was profoundly deaf and we communicated with a made up signing language that he taught me. I think it was based on the US version, and when we got stuck we'd spell words out to each other with the finger alphabet.

I totally understand the "conversation-in-bed-in-the-dark problem!"
Hows the learning going? Ive been told (by my ex-support teacher at uni) thats its really hard to learn on your own. I feel like I should learn sometimes, especially when other deaf people come upto me and start signing. Makes me feel awful because I cant sign back.
The worse time was 4 years ago when a guy was lost and was trying to ask for directions. He ended up pointing to a map (which is where I happened to be going for a uni opening day) so I ended up grabbing him and physically taking him there!
