If that was a synthesised voice, it was pretty good. What a fascinating mixture and jumble of things. They seemed to make sense, sort of.  :)

Oh, that was different! I can see why that image was an inspiration. This was a terrific experiment, Dolores!

Thanks you. I'm happy you liked the result of my experiment. Yes, it's a sythesised voice. I found a text to speech converter with different voices. I chose the one I liked best. There are a lot of fascinating free tools on the internet to experiment with. :rolleyes:

I loved this! I’m no stranger to synthesized voices... being blind. I believe art should pull from multiple senses. Great job!

This was quite interesting.  I found it hard to differentiate between different poems, but was able to pull words and phrases that particularly struck me.  I love the image.  I can see why you found it inspiring. :)

Thank you, BlindAmbition. I'm happy you liked the experiment. I actually would have liked to add smell. Perhaps in the not so distant future. Who knows?

 

May I ask? Do you use a special software to read internet sites? I ask because of embedded media and links. It's hard for me to imagine how it works.

Awesome ! The voice added surprising depth to the image , which in turn gave layers of meaning to the words.

I have used many platforms for Accessibility code testing. My everyday products are Apple iPhone, iPad, and 2 Macs. Apple has a built in screen reader. Apple introduced Samantha in 2005. Quite a robust software. Embedded links are read with no issue.
