OT Wrist thermometer detection

A a few places I work at you get your temperature checked by offering your wrist up to a machine.

The machine then says in a loud voice "safe"

It's a boring voice.

Any suggestions for changing "safe" to a famous voice and maybe words other than just "safe".

Depends on how the voice works. If its a phoneme system that can say anything at all, then its always going to sound robotic. If its a real person and it only has whole words digitised for specific places, like the Wallace an Grommet clocks for example, then you would need only to make a chip with the right coding for the device with other voices on it. Certainly the old Pure Sonus 1 DAB had that latter method and also allowed two choices by downloading voices from the website, sadly they never made much of it, just a male and a female were available.

So really you need to find out how its done and would need to know how the indexing is done and word assembly if its phoneme based,and record your own phonemes for every sound needed for speech which is very long winded, and indexing of reserved words if its the whole word kind. Brian

It obviously has unsafe or check yourself for covid or some such. People are assuming it just plays samples here,but as I said in my other post it could be a proper speech synth chip and be more complicated since it uses phonemes, not words. Brian

Is the machine programmable ?

"Safe" doesn't take a lot of bytes of storage, so I can see the attraction of that word. They probably selected words that would minimize the ROM storage needed. The fact they chose that word, tells me the machine is not programmable, but you'll know more about this than I would.

I want to know what the machine says, when you have a fever. Try placing a heated steel rod in the machine, instead of your wrist... "Holy Fuck" said the machine.
