Questionable location/entry? - THOR 03:12, 28 Dec 2004 (CET)

I don't think this requires a separate entry, it's the voice of a computer. It could be placed as a sidenote under Cardassians or just in the actress' wiki. Enzo Aquarius 03:34, 28 Dec 2004 (CET)

It's already noted under Computer voice. -- EtaPiscium 03:37, 28 Dec 2004 (CET)

Searching[]

Does anyone know of a good Text-To-Speech voice that sounds like Majel Barrett Roddenberry? 70.150.206.188 23:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Male computer voice[]

Cosmo Genovese the unidentified Male computer voice? In several early eps of TNG such as "11001001" there is a male computer voice. This occurs in other episodes too. I suspect that Cosmo Genovese (TNG Script Supervisor) is this voice. If you watch several of the behind the scenes featurettes on the TNG Blu-rays you will hear him doing other actors parts in the background while actors film a scene. The fact that he reads these parts off screen is confirmed in this interview. [1] His voice sounds remarkably familiar to the Male computer voice heard several times in the series. I suspect that it is him. - jason3fc (talk) 04:45, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

Expansion[]

I feel like there ought to be a list of all computer voices heard in Trek by ship and which shows or films they were heard in. --LauraCC (talk) 19:45, August 26, 2016 (UTC)

I agree. The computer voice is a character and should have a list of appearances like other characters. NetSpiker (talk) 02:28, August 27, 2016 (UTC)

I say this because right now, the background info is formatted as "So and so played this computer, another guy played this one", etc. Instead of being organized, it's a loose list. --LauraCC (talk) 16:49, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Voyager Future's End[]

In these episodes, the 29th century time-ship captained by Braxton, its computer is voiced by a man. 2600:1700:AF00:1300:7182:21C7:198B:B07 10:50, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

Yes. And.... 31dot (talk) 10:53, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

Hmm. Kind of sounds like that needs to be mentioned or looked into. --Alan (talk) 16:41, November 30, 2019 (UTC)

I removed the uncited

Nowadays, Amazon Echo smart speakers can be adjusted to respond to the wake word "computer" (rather than "Alexa"), much as with the computer voice in Star Trek, and so-called "skills" based on the franchise can be enabled within such devices.

I'm not even sure how to categorize this information... trivia? Either way, it needs to be better substantiated. --Alan (talk) 16:41, November 30, 2019 (UTC)
