Loquendo was a text to speech system whose synthetic voices became a staple of Spanish speaking YouTube in the late 2000s and 2010s. Felipe, its Castilian Spanish male voice, was widely used because creators could type dialogue instead of recording themselves. The format exploded in fan dubbed game scenes, creepypasta narrations, tutorials and series made inside games like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Even after newer voices appeared, Felipe stayed recognisable as the sound of early Loquendo videos, so creators still use it for nostalgia and deadpan comedy.
