I remember in the late 90s Microsoft introducing text-to-speech recognition through those characters. I hooked that wizard up to the output from my IRC client. Anytime a message would come to the channel with my name, the wizard would speak the message. Of course, within a few minutes, the entire channel was flooded with people calling me dirty names. Good times.
