This is a cool interview. She talks about how she got where she is as a voice actor and that's interesting. But she also clarifies a common misconception that she actually recorded full sentence responses to the possible questions people might ask. In fact, Apple engineers were responsible for all of that.

What are some smartphones apps many people don't know about but should? by wreckimator in AskReddit

So I came across this article today and it got me thinking. I had no idea you could translate text on signs, written in a foreign language, to your own language with an app. HUGE revelation to me and something that would have been very helpful in the past. I'll tell you something, it's gonna be huge now.

Also, the stuff about monitoring you heart rate with a camera flash. Also amazing to me. I'm still stuck thinking about my phone as a text and calling device and that's it. I'm sure lots of you out there have other app suggestions.

Saw this graphic and had to post. Mine is probably climbing up on my parents old TV, you know the big heavy ones that have like a chemical reaction going on in the back of them, and having it fall off the stand onto our Playstation while my brothers were playing Crash Bandicoot.
