Computers reading email is nothing new but according to New Scientist Magazine IBM is taking this a step further, IBM is developing a system that allows a PC to read out email in a voice mimicking that of the person who sent it. To start, the sender reads a couple of introductory paragraphs containing keywords into a mic. The IBM software than builds a data file that contains characteristics of the user's speech including pitch, tone, enunciation and rhythm. After I read this far, I started think of all the ways to use my boss's voice, think of the possibilities, Boss don't fear, you can encrypt your voice profile.
