I think it would be really popular to have dead people "speak" at their own funerals, offering words of comfort like "I'm not in any pain" and "I met rover on the rainbow bridge he says woof". the typist could get it to produce words as well as nonverbal utterances (sighs, groans, laughs, etc.), and the system would approximate the dead person's accent. everything would be computerized so that the corpse-machine could vocalize text transmitted to it remotely via laptop. it would mechanically stimulate/move all of the corpse's speech organs, forcing air through the vocal tract, opening and closing the larynx, and moving the tongue, lips, and jaw. Since this thread has taken a turn for the morbid, I propose a machine that makes dead people speak.
