    It looks like if the voice isn't specifically set, the api tries to match up with a language that's set on the client....sooooo, maybe it was a chrome or windows update that prompted it to go with the annoying lady voice. I'm not really sure how it all works.


    edit: I think my last update was Tuesday, but the lady voice started today.

    Mine went wonky yesterday morning. No one was complaining so I just suffered in silence, figuring it was something I did. :(

    They made changes to worker today, but that shouldn't have had an effect on any scripts.

    It most likely is something windows or chrome related... I just noticed that I'm not on the latest version of chrome... (I've had my computer running without closing chrome for about a week and it says that I have an update ready)...

    I could check to see if that changes the voice for science... but I am cooking and watching stuff.

    Well I'm doing it on toast... and it is going to be sauce + cojack cheese + sausage
