You can still receive texts on a rotorary right, then it’s read aloud by some computer voice
I heard that somewhere I think, not sure how true it is
It used to work at least here in the Netherlands, when you send a sms to a landline, the phone company has a tts service that reads texts like: “incoming text from zero six one… (etc) with the following text: ok boomer” and repeating that twice.
Used to be a really mechanical voice, but I’ve not had a landline in at least ten years.
