Speaking Piano enters the climate debate

[Alejandro4891]

this is going to replace the robot vocals in cynic

[wakod2002]

They need to have this thing set up so that you can send your audio to it, and they'll send a recording back. It'd give them a good way to make money off of the invention, and I'm sure anyone would kill (or pay) to be able to use that kind of sound in their own music.

The kid has a hard time pronouncing himself ... I bet if they used someone who can actually speak clearly, the piano would be more understandable

[drmedwuast]

that's what I thought

[Soundingofftour]

very true!

[Jordmate]

Now that sounds like Michael Jackon, very cool

[LifeWithBabs]

so cool and creepy at the same time!

[MsPaparatz]

LMFAO

[timelrd]

If you were to watch this video without knowing what is trying to be said or even read any of the text you would have a hard time understanding the piano, but with the help of the text a voice can very clearly be heard and understood.

[SabrynaAndElizabeth]

[WRETCHEDLY1]

I don't get what's going on here, but Ashton Kutcher sent me here, so it must be funny.

[Squippio]

Amazing on so many levels.

[uhawl]

Perhaps they could have had a more understandable result if they had either done the recording in the native language of the child, or chosen a child without such a horrible accent (plus a speech impediment?)

[skryboyd]

your the dude in the red shirt on star trek aren't you

[burrowingduck]

The voice creeps me out.

[MrCarelo]

yeah truly marvelous, yeah. A talking piano.

...whats the point, really?

[xtraa]

It is pretty much complicated because it is mechanical, like analog pixels.

[mw8830]

I like it.

[mikhasw]

i can't understand SHIT

[Zonkin]

Haha, it's a German boy, trying to read English, written by scientists, taped by some mechanical device, interpreted by an engineer, programmed into a hydraulic system, which pushes keys on a piano, causing strings and the air to vibrate, captured by a microphone, re-encoded into a computer, compressed and posted on youtube, played through your speakers, before hitting your eardrums, which causes electrical signals which your brain interprets.

If it sounded like a voice, it should be freakish...

[NumbFuzz]

this is incredible.

[scoutxxor]
