Line 54:
** If you listen closely, the main character talks exactly how it is written.
* The voice of Byte from ''[[Tron 2.0]]'' is actually a voice of MacinTALK.
* ''Impossible Mission'' on the Commodore 64: "Another visitor? Stay awhile. [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|Stay FOREVER]]!"
* Microsoft Sam and Mary appear chanting the name and motto of the Wii party game, ''[[Lets Tap|Let's Tap]]'' in the game's theme tune. [[Ear Worm|Yes, really.]]
* The Intellivision's Intellivoice module.
Line 63:
* The Hymn of None in ''[[LG15: the resistance|LG 15 The Resistance]]''.
* Garry {{spoiler|aka Gamma}}, the AI/computer from ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''.
* Since [[Doug Walker]] was traumatized into muteness by the terrible, terrible movie,<ref>[[Written in-In Infirmity|actually a throat infection]]</ref> [[The Nostalgia Critic]] is forced to review ''[[Alone in the Dark (2005 film)|Alone in The Dark]]'' through Speakonia.

* The titular robot in ''[[Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?]]'' originally used MacinTalk Junior, credited as "Himself", but later switched to a synthesized human voice, and they even redubbed the earlier episodes with the real actor.
* Compuhorse from ''[[Spliced]]''
* Post-''[[ReBoot]]'' CGI series called either ''[[War Planets]]'' or ''[[Shadow Raiders]]'' (depending on where you were watching it) had Princess Tekla (from the robot planet)'s companion device voiced by MacinTalk, the same device Stephen Hawking used.
* [[Frank Welker]] used one to voice Soundwave from ''[[Transformers]]'', which is basically his [[Inspector Gadget|Dr. Claw]] voice as heard in one episode where they forgot to use it.
** On the other hand, ''[[Transformers Animated|Animated]]'' Perceptor's voice is completely synthetic, and probably so to bring to mind Professor Stephen Hawking. One of the writers has suggested that he "deleted his emotions and personality" to make room for more data, though (like many an "emotionless" character), [[Tin Man|he certainly seems to have both]], if understated.
