More VO Venues - in Restaurants!

[JoeActor]

Hey all,

Just read the following article on Voice Over Times:
Talking Menus Now in Restaurants

I was actually one of the prototype voices (a little Elvis VO) for this device, so it's cool to see it moving forward ;-)

So, what other unique Venues for VO can you think of?

Joe,

This is real cool. It’s sort of like having your own personal waitperson. Think of the possibilities for multilingual folks.


I would love to hear that Elvis voice of yours though.

One bizarre use of VO I heard of was in Talking Urinal Cakes. Imagine being reminded of not to Drink and Drive while you are relieving yourself. Man! Is there no escape?

... maybe some things shouldn't speak!

Ok, a talking urinal cake might not be the best thing for a drunk guy to experience...matter of fact, that might not be good for anyone... :)

Very cool about the talking menus, though. Maybe talking ATM's would be another application?

ATM's sound good... oh wait...

"Your PIN number is 12345 - Press Enter if that is correct"

"Your current balance is Zero Dollars and Forty-Seven Cents"

"I did not understand 'This Is A Stick-Up' - Please speak more clearly..."

Off to find a talking urinal,
