Majestic Mystery

An Albert and Rex Short Story

By: Steve Higgs

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Albert and Rex are going to the palace. It’s the day the Kings' birthday honour list recipients get their knighthoods, but like everywhere else they go, there is trouble to be found.

With his three children and youngest granddaughter, Apple-Blossom, in tow, Albert is a little embarrassed by the lavishness of the affair. Yet all that is forgotten when he spots a man he knows. A man guilty of murder. A man who can only be at the palace for one thing.

But Albert is about to be presented to the king, now is not the time to be chasing criminals.

I guess that's why he's Rex's sidekick.

Step aside humans, it's time for the real hero to get involved.

Short and cute

The dog in the story and the child and old man who were the stars

AI is terrible

Enjoyed the story, but the AI was terrible. No cadence no inflections sentences just running together, I didn’t like it at all

Voices

Love the cute little story but hate AI voices. I prefer recordings with different voices. Much more enjoyable.

The timing up of some of the storyline short comings and wanting to hear of future adventures.

It was pleasing to hear the tieing up of some of the storyline shortcomings and wanting to hear of future adventures. However computer generated narration (better than expected) lacked the comfortable English accent and pronunciation of the live narrators in earlier titles. Why couldn't an Englishman's voice be used? (Heck I liked the seemingly older guys!)

The story line was good and didn't necessarily stop the adventures of Albert and Rex.

The AI virtual voice detracts from the story with incorrect punctuation and lack of organic accents.

As always, the story is wonderful, but AI performance denies the listener the imagination intended in the text.
