BlueParrot is a Scala project that randomly plays sound clips and text phrases.

Blue Parrot

Like a parrot, the Blue Parrot is an app that (a) plays sound clips and (b) speaks text phrases, and does both of those at random times, intermixing them randomly.

You can control the max time between what it says. For instance, if you specify three minutes, it will speak a quote or play a sound clip at least once every three minutes. Because it does so randomly, some times it will take up to three minutes, some times they'll be just seconds apart, but over time they should average out to about 90 seconds apart (half of three minutes).
