Awesome Web App of the Day - Let Them Sing It For You

I've always been a fan of Text 2 Speech conversion. You know what I'm talking about...the software that allows you to enter in a sentence or some words. The words are then converted to "speech" by the computer and output using a number of different pitches and volumes to sound like an actual person. (Though often, it pretty much sounded like a robot.)

Well the site, "Let Them Sing It For You" brings txt2speech to the modern world by doing exactly what it says. It sings your text to you. How so? It uses clips of words taken from popular songs and splices them together to create your supplied full sentence.

For example the sentence, "Are you hungry?" might take the ARE from Kansas' "Dust In The Wind" ...the YOU from Bob Dylans "The Times They Are A Changin"...and the HUNGRY from Duran Duran's, "Hungry Like The Wolf". It then combines them to complete the sentence!

It's rather fun and can lead to some hilarious results. Here's one I did fast to demonstrate this to my coworkers.

I typed in: "It is such a nice day outside and I am stuck inside the office."









Check it out and have fun! Let Them Sing It For You
