I was watching American Inventor the other night and one of the 'inventions' was a multi-cultural doll that could speak pre-recorded phrases in 3 languages. When I googled 'talking dolls' I found out there are voice-recognition ones out on the market now (they recognize their 'mommies' voice) and object
recognition ones. I didn't see any that would let you record your own messages (in whatever language or dialect you choose - think southern US and the plural of y'all - alls y'all) so they could be made more specific for your child.
Several options could be included. One would be a voice converter that could change a father's voice into a girl's voice so the dad could record messages for his daughter. Another would be a remote that linked certain messages with a number on the remote. For instance, pressing #1 would get the doll to say 'Please put me away. If you don't I'll run away.' Okay, that would be a little cruel, but you get the point.

I like this idea - has a suitable dark side to it as well. I was
going to put up something similar called "Rendition Man
Doll" were you get to interrogate an orange boiler suited
doll, which is preloaded with dubious replies and you have
to decide if they are a suspect or not.... sighs. + |

Definite bun for the //voice converter// feature. |

Add an Internet site and a way for people to trade voice files. |
