I remember hearing a name that would sound the same if you played it forward or backward. It was really odd that it worked out that way. Does anyone remember this persons name? So basically you would say some name like " Joe Smith" and if you recorded it and played it backwards it would still say "Joe Smith".

Was it Bob?

Dad?

No, it was a two word name that you wouldn't expect to sound the same forward and backwards. I heard it on a radio show and tested it out on my computer many years ago. I thought it was quite interesting.

A good friend of mine showed me that if you record: ElufGibEEzzE foward and play it backward you get:......

on the net I found this: "The house is on fire" (same forwards and backwards)

First, the name of that is Phonetic palindrome

I don"t know exactly what you would do, but if you would create some Forced Phonetic palindrome :twisted: :

"However, this does not guarantee that a reversed recording of any of these words will sound identical to non-reversed speech.
because certain pronunciations can cause a shift in the articulation of the vowel, differentiating the beginning from the end in its pitch."

:? :cry: :?

Cool! Phonetic palindromes.

I was going to call them audio ambigrams.

I like the name "Forward/Backwards Same Sounding Thingy", but I realize that's a bit of technical jargon. :wink:

Actually Phonetic Palindromes is way cool, I wonder what that sounds like backwards?
