I am waiting for the Turing test for children. It would be an amazing application for preschoolers.

Tip: Best with Chrome to enjoy the thrills of a real chat using HTML5 voice recognition. (TTS also works on iPad.)

I feel like I'm chatting with Angela Bennett in The Net. "You are one of us! One of us."

She never stops to amuse me.

YOU: i think you are a confused robot, eliza

ELIZA: Perhaps you would like to be a confused robot.

Nice work on the user interface. It's a relatively simple application of pre-existing libraries, but the interface makes it really slick.

all JS comes from the same source ...

Typing "fizzbuzz" into the chatbox gives you a couple extra accent options.

Side question: is it known how close these ports are to the original? As far as I can find, the rule mechanism the original ELIZA used is well documented, and some example transcripts are published. But nowhere can I find documentation of the specific rules implemented by the original ELIZA in that rule mechanism, to produce those example transcripts. Where did the rules in the many latter-day ports come from? Are some of them based directly on the original code lineage, before it disappeared? Or is it actually still available somewhere, and I just can't find it? Or did they invent their own rules in the spirit of the original, aiming to reproduce its behavior but not via a direct port?

I think some ports claim to be based on the original port to Lisp. I've never seen any of the original SLIP code or data. The rules seem to be authentic, since they are producing Weizenbaum's sample conversation.

As for elizabot.js see: http://www.masswerk.at/elizabot/eliza_test.html

On firefox the synthesized voice is weird. On Chrome its fine.

Try this in the javascript console:

    meSpeak.speak('This is awesome');
