Thanks! The home page is http://www.unaesthetic.net/st/ (there are no asterisks in the actual program name). I love the installer — “Thank you for downloading Sh!t-Talker v1.2 by: jaundice, Ya Creep!”


It’s actually a front end for another program called DocTalker; it works by remotely pasting text from a button into DocTalker and clicking the “Test” button. The buttons sometimes took several presses to work for me, but I found I could also type directly into DocTalker. I wouldn’t call the speech synth realistic, but it has some fantastic cartoony voices, like The Fly and Fast Fred. Great find!

    Looks like DocTalker is based on SoftVoice Text2Speech, because the voices are the same. Interesting background here: http://www.text2speech.com
