Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
That's true - you could probably make do with everything the computer has already said in all the series. And it might discourage them from making up new technobabble.

Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
Surely we must be at such a technologically advanced stage that we could synthesise a person's voice now?

the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”

It just wouldn't be the same as the real Majel's voice. God bless that woman's soul and keep her in peace.

Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
Actually they have a voice synthesizer that exactly mimics a persons voice. It uses the shape of their voice box and mouth. I've seen it used, it sounds extremely real.USS Aeon wrote:It just wouldn't be the same as the real Majel's voice.

Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
Do they have the dimensions of Majel's mouth and voice box?

Since she's dead, it wouldn't be too hard to get them.
Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
Thats even more wrong than using a different voice.

Thinking back, I'm not sure why I said that. 
I guess my brain wasn't working that early in the morning. As if it ever does.

Are you talking about the dimensions of her voice box and mouth, or her actual voice box and mouth?Nickswitz wrote:Since she's dead, it wouldn't be too hard to get them.

The dimensions, I believe.

Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
I don't what burial practices were used on Mrs. Roddenberry, but there's a good chance the dimensions of her mouth and larynx are considerably different then when she kept her body above room temperature.
On a related note, I can't believe I just made a salient post regarding the decay of Majel Barrett's soft tissue.

Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
They would be able to heat it up, and since they could do it right after she died, they coudl get it fairly accurate, plus, it's a computer that they use, they can modify the vocal properties if they needed. just saying.
Re: The Enterprise gets her voice
They could always use voice samples of hers from other series.
"Computer, status report"
"You will be Emperor"
