I've just finished a Paranoia XP campaign manager tool app website type of thing to help GMs out.
Last time I ran Paranoia, as preparation I built a simple app that would say whatever I’d typed into a text box and had a number of stock phrases I could click on to have it say them immediately. Stuff like “Are you unhappy, friend citizen?”, “That information is not available at your security clearance,” "At your service,” etc.
On the one hand it worked well in making Friend Computer more like a computer, especially given the voice I selected, on the other it was awkward in that his responses to questions always came after a delay because I had to type them in first.
Yeah I noticed that potential, so I built into the forms system an audio button to dole out pre-written text applicable to the choices they make on filling out forms. Given that the GM has to pre-write the texts for various answers, it is mostly relevant for simple cases and it automatically inserts the name of the form respondent :) "Joe-R-DUD-1 to the question, Am I commie? You answered, YES, please report to Internal Security for termination".
