In the last post, we introduced iSpeech.org. Here is another example of the iSpeech converting text to sound. This is the Marc Antony’s famous speech from the play Julius Caesar.
- Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears:
- I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
- The evil that men do lives after them;
- The good is oft interred with their bones;
- So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
- Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
- If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
- And grievously hath Caesar answered it.
- (Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest –
- For Brutus is an honourable man;
- So are they all, all honourable men )–
- Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
- He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
- But Brutus says he was ambitious;
- And Brutus is an honourable man.
- He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
- Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
- Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
- When that the poor had cried, Caesar hath wept.
- Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
- Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
- And Brutus is an honourable man.
- You all did see that on the Lupercal
- I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
- Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
- Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
- And, sure, he is an honourable man.
- I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
- But here I am to speak what I do know.
- You all did love him once, not without cause:
- What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
- O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts,
- And men have lost their reason! Bear with me;
- My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
- And I must pause till it come back to me.
