"To get anywhere, or even live a long time, a man has to guess, and guess right, over and over again, without enough data for a logical answer."
- Robert Heinlein

Synthetic Voice  
  Artificial human speech.  

As far as I know, the first use of the phrase "synthetic voice".

Ken switched on the space radio. "May as well see how the Chief is progressing." Fifteen minutes passed before a news bulletin was broadcast. The tape-recorded synthetic voice spoke with its usual dispassionate calm.

"The arson outbreak continues, on a larger scale than ever."

From The Amazon Fights Again, by Thornton Ayre.
Published by Fantastic Adventures in 1940
