Do you have a boy or a girl computer?


It would be interesting to know if you are using a male or female computer. Don’t get surprised, we have a way to identify if your computer is a boy or girl computer. Do you want to check the gender of your computer?

I was using Facebook and I saw one status message popped by GoTechnoSavy where he/she reveals the method of identifying the gender of your PC. I found it interesting and through to share it with you all here. Remember this is just for fun and not EXAM related content Winking smile

You know it very well that computers have speakers and can produce sound. You might have played songs and music, but all those were recorded sounds, but have you ever heard the voice of your computer? Can you know whether your computer is boy or girl if you hear its voice?

OK, let us make our computer speak and hear its voice to know if it is a male computer or female computer.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open Notepad

Go to Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Notepad. Or you can open Run dialog box (Start >> Run) and type Notepad and press Enter.

Step 2. Type the following line of text in notepad

CreateObject(“SAPI.SpVoice”).Speak”I love You”

Step 3. Save file as computer voice.vbs

Remember the file should have name voice.vbs. What I mean is its extension should be .vbs not .txt. For that you should choose “All file types” from the File Type drop down list (Just below the box where you type filename)

thus it is no longer a notepad file…it now becomes a .vbs file.

Step 4. Run the file

Close the notepad after you save. Now go to the location where you saved the file and double click it to run.

If you hear a male voice, it’s a boy. If you hear a female voice, it’s a girl!!

I’m eager to know if majority of computers are male or female computers. Please write in comment below. Let us count the number of male and female computers among use.

      Must be because of quotation marks. Please change those smart quotation marks into straight quotation.

      It may be the quotation marks. You should retype the code in your notepad (not copy and paste).

  • This is ridiculous but I’ve tried it. At first, it was an error(never heard a thing except for a single error beep sound) but I’ve changed the quotation marks to the straight one as said on the later comments and hey! My PC is a middle-aged WOMAN! haha this is fun! I never knew that computers have genders not until now.

    • Suresh Khanal on October 4, 2011

      It must be the quotation problem. I asked you to type the line of code in notepad. You’ll get error, if you copy and paste.
