froggy voice
The froggy voice is the result of a robotic "text to speech" voice synthesiser.
Apple has a downloadable app on its iPad called "Speak It" which costs about a couple of bucks which does the same thing. you type in the text, it speaks it. Good for laryngitis phone conversations for instance! Also good for people who have a permanent condition where they cannot speak but can type their thoughts.
I don't really care, but for those people who have an aversion to Apple, there are alternatives for non-Apple platforms. text-to-speech is definitely not rocket science and is not monopolised by any OS platform.
