One of the first attempts
to replicate the human voice was Euphonia, created in the 1800s
by German inventor Joseph Faber. Her lips and rubber tongue were controlled
by piano keys, while a bellows acted as her lungs. She spoke in several languages, and could belt out a creepy version
of "God Save the Queen."
