Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
Yes, DerKork, I was quite pleased by your remarks to QM.
To all: I have just by chance discovered the bot Doll-379. I recommend (him|her|it). (He|She|It) quoted a bit of Allen Ginsberg, and uttered many other things in the same vein; I'm not sure whether they were all quotes from Ginsberg or improvisations, but the effect is quite charming.

Der Kork, thanks for the thoughts. I only tried the SL text to speech because it was a freebie 
It's not important (and it doesn't work well at all). I know there are some inexpensive programs that change your voice (for people who play other genders or species and such I guess) but I hardly ever use Voice in world myself. I do stream my own radio to my parcel though. Streaming bot radio would be a bit more difficult to set up and have so many more steps where things would go wrong. Imagine trying to send voice from SL to a server where it goes speech to text, sending text to the PF, picking up the response here and sending it back to the server where it is sent to a text to speech program which sends the results to an Internet radio station. Do you think the original speaker would wait to see if the answer made sense?
Honestly, though I confess to setting my bots on strangers, I find that only bot masters really like talking to bots regardless of where you try to use them. Maybe in time that will change. I confess I haven't talked to my own bots since I stopped thinking of other ways I may use them though.

Bev, of course it would take something close to half an hour if you take the information offsite and back again, maybe through some sort of shoutcast-broadcast thing. (I'm no expert at all with LSL. I found out how to set up a shop system, but that's the furthest extent I could produce. But I could create acceptable textures - you need some counterweights.)
A thought I had last night is the use of a phoneme-based system (I'm not sure about the number of phonemes in the english language), which could result in a more flexible TTS (which would hardly be a freebie at first - it just takes too many sound clips of phonemes to upload to give it away for nothing). So unless they come up with an integrated TTS (for those who are visually impaired for example), you would have to pay lost of L$ to get an "okay" working system which doesn't spell everything. Just a thought....
Irina: I'm glad you like my responses.

Hey people, quick mondobot question, I found a person that wants my bot, I filled out the bot settings and checked yes to be on mondobot, I can't find it!
Help?

Welcome CrimsonRouge. Verbots have been out for a while now. I think the Prof is also working on a text to speech deal. It's fun to play with all of them. I guess I can only say that when I was actively playing with bots, I liked what the PF had to offer more than the others, but YMMV.
DW, yes that's people for you. Still, it does you good to laugh.
