How in the hell did I just now find out Lwaxana Troi was played by Genes wife!
I was even more surprised when I found out Lwaxana and the enterprise computer had the same actress.
I don’t condone AI attempting to “steal” voices of passed actors/actresses, but I’d love to have my car navigation using her voice (either as the computer OR as Lwaxana)
I’d love to have the voice of Data giving me navigation directions and LaForge interrupting on a regular basis feeding me endless technobabble about everything that was wrong with my vehicle while the ‘red alert’ siren plays in the background
She did supposedly record her voice for the purpose of using it as the computer before she died, but I’ve never heard it used.
Unable to comply.

Oh wait, wrong Franchise.
i remember you used to be able to download voice packs for one of the common map apps (maybe Waze?) but instead of saying the road names it just gave simple commands like turn left and turn right. i betcha you could rip all of those straight from episodes without needing to synthesize anything new
Majel was an amazing actress and gorgeous woman.
Agreed on both. And I’m sorry she wasn’t in more.
When you are just that good… :-)
And if they ever decide to add M’Ress, it will be four.
Couple more years and we can celebrate her centennial.
I just watched TOS S2E1 the other day, and I was surprised by how much the new Chapel actually looks like her. They cast her really well. Before, I’d really only seen Barrett as Lwaxana.
