  Try the techno-sound: Tischdecke! (Works in real life, haven't tried it on Google translate, yet. And means `table cloth'.)
  • iamdave 16y ago
    It said the word but I broke down your suggestion far enough that Th actually gives you a much better hi hat sound. Thanks!

    For all germans here: repeat "Böse Katze" (bad cat) and you have an instant beatbox.

      And for English speakers, "Scott's Boots"
      • tjarratt 16y ago
        I've always liked "Boots and Pants", personally.

  Use . to add tempo. Each full-stop adds a fixed amount of time before the next word is pronounced.

  So, I went ahead and made a drum machine out of your notes using a bit of JavaScript... https://gist.github.com/721253 https://gist.github.com/721253 Load it as a bookmarklet using this: javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).src = "https://gist.github.com/raw/721253/f70c2bdeaed54d9907a448504ca7488287ab6d12/google-translate-drums.js})() https://gist.github.com/raw/721253/f70c2bdeaed54d9907a448504... EDIT: the bookmarklet is getting cut off by HN, see the first comment on the gist linked above. Unfortunately there's a little bit of delay due to loading the sounds but it sort of works.

    That's awesome! If you want to pre-compose your beat and then paste it into Google Beatbox, you can use this simple GUI script: https://gist.github.com/721611 https://gist.github.com/721611
  • potomak 16y ago
    I've created a new version of your great script, now it uses the javascript Audio() class. https://gist.github.com/721554 https://gist.github.com/721554 This is the bookmarklet: javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).src="http://bit.ly/googlebeat})() http://bit.ly/googlebeat})()

      So desperate to get this to work...but no avail! I made the bookmarklet in my firefox toolbar with the javascript code. I open google translate, click the bookmarklet...nothing happens. My roomate thinks it's an error with the bit.ly redirect Any suggestions? I want it SO BAD
      • jmatt 16y ago
        This is what you need to do to get it to work: 0. Use fix close quote on bit.ly redirect if you are using the parent comment... javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).src="http://bit.ly/googlebeat"})() 1. Load Google Translate: http://translate.google.com http://translate.google.com 2. Load the bookmarklet. 3. Click the new buttons at the bottom of the page. See the howto from the gist: https://gist.github.com/721554#file_how_to.txt https://gist.github.com/721554#file_how_to.txt
