Text to crap


Hello!

Good day to you all…

Well I was playing with my Galaxy S 3 phone and I got into a bit of a hiccup…  You see, Mexican TV reported that in Mexico university students are developing a product that will turn written words into speech on a mobile…  WTF I said to my wife, I’m almost certain that the technology already exists here in Canada: it’s called text to speech and I even have it on my Galaxy phone…  I touched off the Mexican pride in my wife and like a donkey that incessantly brays, she claimed that if it was on the news it must be truth!  No, no, I am quite certain that I have that option on my phone already…  And I started to look for it, in a matter of seconds I have found where to activate the option, it's called Talk Back.  Tadaaaa!  You see, you see!?  I told you it already exists! 

I had made my point people, her Mexican pride was no more...  Okay time to turn off the stupid option...  WTF?!  How do you turn it off?!...  I was baffled, I kept on going to settings, but I couldn't scroll down to the accessibility options!  " it's not working!"...  I played around for about a good half hour people, no dice!  I couldn't scroll down if my life depended on it!  So I went to my good old friend Google and started to research my dilemma…  And yes I found the answer: use tree fingers to scroll down!...  Stupid Mexican students, if they wouldn't have reported that, I wouldn't have encountered the problem and my life would have been much easier...  That's my morning...

Take care folks!

PS They probably explained it on the crash course you are given at the beginning but like the good technician I am, I bypassed it...
