me: So Tracy Gibbs is our new Acting Coaching Coord
1:53 PM CPHUL: Awesome
I just got a voicemail from her re: PHUL info shee
t
me: ah, sweet
1:54 PM She's also on gchat right now as:
t.n.gibbs@gmail.com
op, now she's offline
But I think she' pretty pumped to help out
CPHUL: She sounded excited
I'll give her a call after work if I don't get her on IM
1:55 PM me: here's an app for someone to build
Justin clicks the text-to-speech Tracy button
1:56 PM it opens a gchat window to T Gibbs
and calls her and has a greeting that let's her know you are IMcalling
she replies, "hi" on the phone, it gets speech-to-text back to your IM window
you type "hey" and it gets text-to-speech to her phone
and then you can goof off at work with people who aren't at work!
gold
1:57 PM (potentially very problematic, but... still, fun)
CPHUL: Ha, that'd be pretty amazing. The text-to-speech is pretty good these days, but speech-to-text is still in need of a little work. But if they can work those kinks out, that's be great
1:58 PM me: Imagine trying to keep up with reading/replying to someone talking 150 wpm though
I guess with a bigger chat window it wouldn't be so bad
1:59 PM CPHUL: it might take down all your text in maybe 10-15 second bursts
maybe less. 5-10 seconds
me: hell, not gchat
integrate it into google Wave
CPHUL: boom
me: Boom!
