So long as they leave the brilliant English male voice alone on Android. I
think it's the best voice I have heard yet, it's so realistic. I am looking
forward to trying out a book I want to read.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

All the best

Greetings,
This was sent to another group mid December and I have only just seen it.
The noted artificial intelligence expert will become director of
engineering By Martyn Williams December 14, 2012 07:25 PM ET
IDG News Service -
Well-known American inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil is joining Google.
The 64-year-old, whose work includes computer and machine intelligence,
neuroscience and virtual reality, revealed the move on his blog on Friday.
Kurzweil said his work at Google would focus on new projects involving
machine learning and language processing. The job begins on Monday, when
Kurzweil will take the title director of engineering, he wrote.
"I've been interested in technology, and machine learning in particular,
for a long time: when I was 14, I designed software that wrote original
music, and later went on to invent the first print-to-speech reading
machine for the blind, among other inventions. I've always worked to create
practical systems that will make a difference in people's lives, which is
what excites me as an inventor," he wrote.
"In 1999, I said that in about a decade we would see technologies such as
self-driving cars and mobile phones that could answer your questions, and
people criticized these predictions as unrealistic. Fast forward a decade
-- Google has demonstrated self-driving cars, and people are indeed asking
questions of their Android phones. It's easy to shrug our collective
shoulders as if these technologies have always been around, but we're
really on a remarkable trajectory of quickening innovation, and Google is
at the forefront of much of this development," he wrote.

when he grew up, he died on a cross shedding his blood, so we could be
absolved from sin and so have the relationship with our creator, he always
intended for us.
