Nuance Frozen Pole eCards

Nuance Communications, the company that developed the Dragon Naturally Speaking text recognition tool, has commissioned an online seasons greeting site, inviting visitors to lick a frozen pole before giving their spoken message. Visitors can choose from a variety of outfits, upload their own photograph or choose from famous faces including Santa Claus and the Mona Lisa. Once you’re dressed up and ready to go, it’s out to the ski village to drag your tongue any metal object in the picture. Once attached to pole, type in your text and have Dragon convert your words into tongueless speech, with a choice of Happy Holidays, Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. It’s all online at today’s Site of the Day, www.frozenpole.com
