Now that most every Nokia device to come fresh out the factory comes with free turn by turn navigation, Nokia is looking to spice things up even further by letting you replace the boring pre-recorded voice samples with something you yourself can create. The application, called “Own Voice“, runs you through 54 phrases you’re required to say, a process which takes about 7 minutes, and then you’ll have a one of a kind navigation experience that you can choose to either keep on your device, or share with the world.
Practical reasons? Store your wife’s voice in your mobile phone so you get used to getting orders from her. Store your children’s voice inside before they hit puberty so that the next time the family takes a road trip you can mock them on what they used to sound like. Store your own voice so you can hear yourself talking, further feeding your ego.
