Missed Credit
November 17, 2001
BOB GARFIELD: And now a correction by way of listener e-mail. Last week after a discussion of the new expurgated thesaurus found in Microsoft Word 2000 programs we aired a little parody that involved a computer voice which prompted a letter from Axel Pline [sp?] of ATT. He wrote: I found the bit to be very entertaining and also recognized the synthesized speech to be that provided by the ATT Natural Voices Text-to-Speech via the ATT Labs Natural Voice Web Site, Naturalvoices.com. [LAUGHS] Sorry ATT Labs. Please accept our apologies for denying you the credit.
MAN: This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error.
