Most of our computers have local, client-side voice synthesis. Yes, it sounds like a robot, but it is still voice. Real voice, ala Skype, is fine. But just like we use Avatars to hide our real selves, we need a way to hide our real voice.

A huge advantage is that we could get voice without adding to the bandwidth. The text is coming anyway.

  • The simplest idea is that one could mark one or more Avatars, and their Chat would be rendered as voice, as well.
  • Slightly fancier---One could set the voice characteristics (male, female, pitch, etc.) for each other Avatar.
  • Fanciest---Each user can set ones voice characteristics using Appearance, and those setings would be used on each local client.

Please file this in Jira, or flesh it out more and move it out of your user namespace and back into the feature request category, thanks. Gigs Taggart 12:51, 24 February 2007 (PST)
