I guess you could use that device to report telemetry from say an automated weather station. Spoken words can be probably propagated better over a noisy channel

Task an intern to listen to this every day & compile a report with the weather data inside and bam, daily weather report from an automated station. :)

Until not-that-long-ago, the weather service did have radio weather reports broadcast using an automated, synthesized voice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA_Weather_Radio#Voices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA_Weather_Radio#Voices

  I looked at the link because I was surprised that they had stopped. Turns out the stations are still transmitting.

This is also how ATIS works - these are condition reports for airports that are broadcast on a loop. They tell pilots the active runway (if a small airport), surface weather, etc and any special information. They're often fully synthesised, but might also have some manual recordings at the end. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_terminal_information_service https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_terminal_informati...
