Footnote: I did a politically incorrect speech converter that produced hilarious output based upon a plaintext input (I am so ashamed). It was good fun to take the bosses' memos or company press releases and run it through my program. Ah, the lost days of youth. That was almost 20 years ago. Given a budget I could produce a pretty good 'bot.
