Marjane Satrapi at an event for The Voices (2014) Ryan Reynolds at an event. Movie there is a four minute fantasy song and dance routine featuring six cast. In Narrator and Speakonia, Microsoft Sam's laugh ('hahahaha') sounds different from other voices (e.g. Radar Overseer Scotty, Microsoft Anna, and even Microsoft Mike). It sounds something like 'folly folly fake fake folly folly' in Narrator and in Speakonia, it sounds like a combination of the words 'lol,' 'ha,' and 'ball.'

Speakonia Adventures is the title of a comedic fanfic by Mr. Fanfic Guy, the same author who wrote Lucky Star: After Story. This may be the first ever fanfic uploaded to Fanfiction.net that focuses exclusively on Speakonia and other text-to-speech voices.
The story focuses on Microsoft Sam, Microsoft Mike, Microsoft Mary and Microsoft Anna, while L&H Michael, L&H Michelle, and Radar Overseer Scotty, along with 2 other characters also make appearances. Chapter 1 was uploaded on June 16, 2013 (to celebrate Father's Day, according to the author) on both Fanfiction.net and DeviantArt.com, where it can also be read here

This fanfic has its own continuity, like most Speakonia videos. For example, Microsoft Sam is currently dating Microsoft Anna, who used to be his rival, while Microsoft Mike is Sam's younger brother and he is currently dating Microsoft Mary.
Speakonia Adventures provides examples of:
- Always Identical Twins: L&H Michael and L&H Michelle are fraternal twins, but you can tell them apart because of their different hair and eye color.
- Amusing Injuries: Sam inflicts some of these onto Mr. Fanfic Guy, after he destroyed Sam's Lols-Royce.
- Berserk Button: DO NOT crash into Sam's Lols-Royce. He paid $300,000 for that car. Mr. Fanfic Guy learned that the hard way.
- To a lesser extent, don't try to eat a banana in front of Banana or he will chase you around and swing at you with a mallet, as Mike found out. It's a long story.
- Butt-Monkey: Mr. Fanfic Guy (the author himself) is an example. After he wrecks Sam's expensive Lols-Royce by crashing into it with his funny car, Sam gives him the wedgie of his life by hanging him by his underwear from the flagpole.
- Cluster F-Bomb: Sam yells out the immortal profanity line GODDAMNITSONOFABITCHPIECEOFSHITMOTHERFUCKINGASSHOLEFUCKFUCKFUCK twice in the first chapter alone. He also said HOLY CRAP ASS SHIT MOTHER FUCKING TACOS earlier in the chapter.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Mr. Fanfic Guy is on the receiving end of this in Chapter 1, after he accidentally trashes Sam's Lols-Royce. Sam responds by whacking him in the back with a caveman's club, punching him in the face a few times, and finally hanging him by his underpants from the flagpole, giving him the wedgie of his life. Though to be fair, Sam did sincerely apologize afterward.
- Heel–Face Turn: According to the author, Anna was Sam's former rival. Sometime before the start of the story however, they set aside their differences and eventually started dating.
- Official Couple: Microsoft Sam/Microsoft Anna and Microsoft Mike/Microsoft Mary.
- Shout-Out: Chapter 1's introduction mentions a few TTS video makers such as Thunderbirds101 and davemadson. And when Sam sees his wrecked Lols-Royce, he shouts GODDAMNITSONOFABITCHPIECEOFSHITMOTHERFUCKINGASSHOLEFUCKFUCKFUCK, in another shoutout to Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors.

Contents OverviewA screenshot of SpeakoniaSpeakonia itself is fairly simple to use for the average user, regardless of its skill level. The graphical user interface is similar to Notepad, in a technical way.
A user simply has to type what they want the voice to say, and when they click the button that looks like a play button, the selected text-to-speech voice will read it. The user can change the voice at any time by going to the drop-down menu labeled Voice under the Speech Properties, and selecting another voice. The user can also change the speed and volume of the voice with the sliders below the drop-down menu. It can also be installed in several languages.InterfaceThe Speakonia interface consists of 4 main elements: the menu bar, the toolbar, the text box, and the 'Speech Properties' Box.The Menu Bar is mostly for working with saving and exporting files, as well as registering the program. It is not the main focus of the program.The toolbar has some saving feature shortcuts, as well as commands for playing, pausing and stopping the voice from reading the text that has been entered into the text box.The Text Box is where you will spend most of your time in the program. You simply type what you want the voice to say into the text box.Lastly, the Speech Properties window is the handiest tool in Speakonia.
It allows you to switch between voices quickly, change the speed at which the voice speaks, change it's pitch and volume. This window also has the handy-dandy 'Lexicon' feature, which allows you to change the pronounciation of a word if the voice does not say it correctly.The Speech Properties window in Speakonia.
