Whoa! Your Mac Can Make The ‘Droid’ Sound

Oh this is fun! You know that noise that Motorola Droids make? “Drooooid” in that cute droid-y voice. Your Mac can make that exact same sound! It feels a little wrong but damn if it isn’t satisfying. Here’s how:

Just open up terminal.app and type

say -v "Cellos" "droid"

Boom! DROID! Now type a bunch of other stuff and let it serenade you in its sweet robot voice. [Kottke]

    It actually follows the ‘In the hall of the mountain king’ tune if you type enough stuff in.

    Haha that is fantastic! It plays to some kind of rhythm!

    Try this one for a laugh:

    say -v “Cellos” “I am Lord Bumholio” “holio” “holio” “I am lord Bumholio so holio lio”
