    based on what everyone is saying about it being a slow day I guess I'll take this gladly, and go watch lame Hallmark movies so I can prepare my brain for turk shenanigans all day tomorrow instead...

    Changed voice via cortana, that is not the source as OW is still a female.

    The Zira voice isn't the voice being used in Overwatch. The Overwatch voice is more annoying.

    Sounds like something I would hear from a Speechfeedback hit.

    I can't remember.. it was awhile ago.. there are a few ways that are very nukey that I won't suggest here because you might not be ready for what else it does to your computer if stuff isn't backed up correctly.

    I updated overwatch and it still is the same. I think it is a windows thing.

    Less then half of my daily goal these days.

    Today's Projected Earnings: $37.88 + Bonuses: $5.50 = $43.38

    Here's a way to fix the voice/play with other voices:
    My line #'s might be off by a few. Around line 350 (original):
    Code:
     case "TTS":
                su[(su.length - 1)] = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance();
                su[(su.length - 1)].volume = vol * (0.01);
                su[(su.length - 1)].text = nameTTS;
                window.speechSynthesis.speak(su[(su.length - 1)]);
                break;
    Add in the line:
    Code:
                su[(su.length - 1)].voice = window.speechSynthesis.getVoices()[voiceNum];
    
    So that the little block of code looks like this:
    Code:
            case "TTS":
                su[(su.length - 1)] = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance();
                su[(su.length - 1)].volume = vol * (0.01);
                su[(su.length - 1)].text = nameTTS;
                su[(su.length - 1)].voice = window.speechSynthesis.getVoices()[voiceNum];
                window.speechSynthesis.speak(su[(su.length - 1)]);
                break;
    Then go all the way to the beginning of the code, and just above @Ethraiel's first comment about the favicon, add this line:
    Code:
    var voiceNum = 0;
    
    Setting that to 0, should bring back that good old sonorous voice that we all love. Or you could try out other numbers until you find a voice that you like.

    If you don't feel like playing around with the numbers, change the [voiceNum] to [0] in that line of code you added, and don't worry about adding the stuff to the top of the script.

    edit: I think it should work...right now I'm listening to a romantic french computer lady tell me about all the HITs I don't want to do...

    Did windows update itself? I have a pro licence of windows so I have more control over that kind of thing.

    Yes 2 days ago for me. But I was sure the voice was still male after the windows update.
