From: Lo Jacobs I don't want voice technology. I don't know why. I just don't want it.
I don't want SL to turn into some visual telephone. I like typing stuff.
And don't forget our deaf brothers and sisters! *speaks from the pulpit while pointing a finger in the air* Amen Sista! OH and this is my 100th post and its dedicated to Devlin Gallant - Teh Cherubicest of all the Cherubs  YAY!

None please.
I'm not particularly bothered about hearing people, for all sorts of reasons. However I have good friends in SL who are deaf, mute or similar. I'd really rather not have them disadvantaged and marginalised as at least two ended up being in THERE as voice communication took over.
I am sort of anti-voice communication for one important reason. If we have voice regularly then things flare out of control much faster. When you must write your responses, even F*** off takes a bit more effort than saying it. Your conversations, typos, bad grammar, etc. included are likely to be politer, or decay to out and out abuse only when it is really needed.
Sure typing has issues if you are dyslexic, lacking literacy skills or similar. But you learn to cope with the incompetent spellers, poor grammar, abbreviations, smileys etc. But you can cope with them, and the person at the other end is at least confident enough to try and type. But if you are deaf you can't overcome that however you try.
If we really, really must then text-to-voice with a 'display text' option probably works. I'm not sure how much 'edge' you get from reading or hearing the text, but in 255 characters probably not much. But when everyone has to type the answer back we don't discriminate more than we are already discriminating against those who can't type.

Real voices thanks. No masking desired or needed.

I am voting for one solution that turn Chinglish into English automatically  And some built in function that makes strongly accented Texas voice comprehensible to me

Lag isn't an issue (at least not for me) I run Skype alongside SL no problem... should be no damn different than if SL had some voice servers just like Skype and reserved something like 24-64kbps for voice channels.
