Loquendo was an Italian text to speech technology whose synthetic voices became a staple of Spanish speaking YouTube in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Creators used it to narrate tutorials, creepypastas and especially Grand Theft Auto San Andreas machinimas when they did not want to record their own voice. The stiff delivery became a meme in itself, and short clips like LK04 still circulate on soundboards because the voice instantly signals parody, nostalgia and low budget internet humour to anyone who grew up with those videos.
