Ok, not sure if this is supported, but does anyone know of a text-to-speech prank caller that actually works?

What is that?

:p

Like you would enter a #

And then a specified voice type and some text, and the online machine thing, would call that person and read the text to them, usually under the name and number that you can also make the caller ID read.

Great fun.

....... he means something like one of those programs that people use for the hearing impaired and voiceless.

and i would not condone that. please do not post any links to those things, it is first and foremost illegal to do so, and those services are meant to be used by people with REAL problems.

prank calling in any way shape or form is illegal though. keep that in mind, so this thread is kind of borderline...

remember it only takes a few idiots to mess things up for the people who really need them.

Text to speech would be useless if you cant hear the speech, and no, they have actual prank programs.

Actually its very legal, as long as you dont take it too far or too serious, I've checked this up beforehand ;)

wikipedia said:
the call must be done without the intent to "annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass". Arguably then, if the intent of the call is to amuse, confuse, or simply to engage the call's recipient, there is no violation of the Telecommunications Act
Doing it to my friends, most of the time only once, and they too think its funny, so there is no harm done at all.
Its not like im calling the police or bomb threat places.

i thought you meant a program such as "iprelay" WHERE YOU TYPE, and some one TALKS FOR YOU.and yes that is for the hearing impaired and/or voiceless.

and yes it is illegal, so long as the person told you to stop calling, it only take s once for them to say that before it becomes illegal.

calling people with the intent of harassment is against the law.

p.s don't use wiki pedia EVER again to check the legitimacy of something.

You do know that wikipedia is right and edited if wrong.
So wikipedia would lie about the date of assassination of JFK or something?

Back on topic, its not with the intent of harassment, again
Arguably then, if the intent of the call is to amuse, confuse, or simply to engage the call's recipient, there is no violation of the Telecommunications Act.

Its to amuse me and my friends, most of the time the person on the other line too, or sometimes to confuse.

Theres no harm done for gods sake, i already said that. I know what im doing. My dad is a cop and my mom works in court.

A good "Is your refrigerator running?" never fails to give me a good laugh.

And neither does it do any harm at all.

Yes, its fun to make up your own, especially about inside jokes and the such, but having a funny sounding voice that you know wont laugh and sounds so fake it just so funny ;)

Because the government is going to ban them because some kids used it for prank calls?

I don't think he has the intention of calling them over and over again... and has trust issues.

Would I would do is use the one on your computer and just get a headset and modify it up so that you can put it near the phone.

Umm... I'm sorry but that makes no sense to me.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
