Default Create Custom Spoken Ringtones with AT&T Labs

http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/i...on=expand,12502

"Here's some Friday fun for your Smartphone. I noticed this post over on CoolSmartphone a while ago and filed it in my to be posted folder, but it seems to have been forgotten about. AT&T Labs has a web page that will convert whatever you type into spoken word. This allows you to create some extra cool custom ringtones for your device. I created this personalized ringtone that I'll be mandating all Smartphone Thoughts News Editors use for me."

This is incredibly geeky, yet neat if used for the right purpose. I've created custom spoken ringtones for each type of incoming message (for example, e-mail, SMS, MMS, voice message, etc.), so I know exactly what is sent to my device each time. It beats a standard universal notification sound, hands down.

this sounded really cool and I hope there is still a way to get it to work. My problem is that I turn my sound off for the most
part. I don't want to constantly hear meeting notifications going off all the time. The phone rings and that's an interuption I do want...but I would rather it be a voice like this service

You could assign a blank wav file to stuff you don't want...It'd go off but no sound would work...
