Make Your Mac Sing A Silly Song
POSTED IN: Apple, Randomness, Technology
Here’s a fun little trick to impress your friends. If you are on a Mac copy the below text, paste it in your “Terminal” window and hit enter.
If you don’t know where to find Terminal, search for it in spotlight (in the top right-hand corner of your screen).
say -v Cellos oh I love Brad Ruggles blog love his blog love his blog oh I love Brad Ruggles blog I read it all the time
The opportunities are endless with a fun little geek trick like this. Have fun.
UPDATE:
You can change the word “cellos” at the end to any of the built in mac voices. “bells” and “good news” have nice rings to them, then others like “deranged” are, well, deranged. (ht: abelara)
