Hacked Furby reading out emails using a Raspberry Pi

I stipped down an old fake Furby and gained control of it via my Raspberry Pi and Python code. Here it is checking my inbox for any new emails received.
The motors are a little noisy but that's because there isn't his outer casing keeping it quiet.
I make things and love encouraging creativity in the people I meet. If you like this video then please hop on over to the twitters to see what I'm currently up to: / rocketjez

It’s a mowgwai furby fake

[@molIymawk]

ohh a mowgwai!! these are quite rare, so i’m a bit sad about you taking him apart, but im glad you did something super cool with him!!

[@HobkinBoi]

Needs a quieter motor XD

[@Mango_melon20]

Original furbies HAD LOUD MOTORS AND THATS A FURBY FAKE

[@randomRobloxguy7723]

@@Mango_melon20it’s loud because he took off the motor casing

[@tonkuriihq8133]

This is cool, but these furby fakes are rare... would have still worked with an original Furby which are much more easy to find. Now there's one less mowgwai in the world ;_; I love it tho, sorry to complain. I'm just a furby collector who really wants a rare fake furby lmao

[@RustyRocketProjects]

Oh no ! Don't say that, I feel bad now for taking this one apart. If it's any comfort, it was in a bad state to begin with. I always try recycle in my projects as I hope my channel highlights. Thanks for dropping by.

[@tonkuriihq8133]

It's okay! Imo people can do whatever they want with their own stuff and this was a really cool project and way of recycling it! Usually, a furby or a ffurby fake in bad condition (especially those that don't work normally) isn't worth much anyway, so you likely didn't take something apart that was too valuable. No problem!

@@RustyRocketProjects What is the transcript for this thingy?

[@starlingbaez6681]

That's not a Furby. That's a MowGwai. A furby bootleg

[@The-creator-of-good-videos-15]

Yeah, a ripoff of it. What’s the transcript for the tts voice?

[@EpicFurbynerd76YO]

Cool!

Text2Speech and some rare fake "furby"

[@The-creator-of-good-videos-15]

It’s a rip-off called Mowgwai. The name sounds familiar to the name “Mogwai” from Gizmo.

[@SKULLWOOD]

Would you be willing to make a tutorial video?

[@ftc2194]

What text to speech voice did he use?

[@RustyRocketProjects]

Hi there, I'm using espeak which is not the best voice synthesiser but it's really easy to use. Always looking round for a better one that's just as simple to work with.

[@ftc2194]

+Jez Whitworth Thank you!

[@The-creator-of-good-videos-15]

⁠@@RustyRocketProjects My guess is that he could be saying: “My name is fur-bih. Let me check yoh e-maiyowls. Incoming e-maiyowl, this is an e-maiyowl sent to fur-bih [unintelligible] for him to read it out.”. What’s the unintelligible part?

[@brokenrobot2004]
