I was impressed to discover that on macOS, asking it to speak '¯\_(ツ)_/¯' results in it saying "shrug". The exact form from the article without the backslash for the left arm, though, results in it saying "comma" for some (very) strange reason. For example:
say '¯_(ツ)_/¯'
say '¯\_(ツ)_/¯'
- virgilp 9y agoNope - neither of them say "shrug" on my laptop. High Sierra/ 10.13.2 [edit] And it "says" them exactly the same, regardless of backslash: "macron, (unintelligible)letter two underscore slash, macron". What is says is actually this: ¯ツ_/¯
- garblegarble 9y agoStrange, I'm on 10.13.3... have you tried running the say commands at the command-line? My speech settings are set to "Allison", so perhaps it's a feature of the advanced voices?
- virgilp 9y ago> have you tried running the say commands at the command-line I don't know how else to run it :) But you guessed it. I have 4 voices, Samantha/Victoria/Alex/Fred. I was using Alex. Samantha behaves as you say, all others behave as I say. (Strangely enough, now it says "Samantha (downloading)", so maybe after download it will be 'fixed'?)
- steve_adams_86 9y agoIs this a joke? I just ran it and got something like "macron colo-con letter to underscore macron" And that's... The best I can interpret, it's very muddled. edit: Ah, I see your response to someone else. I'm going to try Allison. edit: Ha! It is Allison! "Shrug". What a time to be alive!
