Still searching for your creative outlet? Perhaps you’re a Shatoet. This week’s app of the week uses the voice of William Shatner to create Shatoetry.
“Last week I was complaining that there was not enough innovation in the mobile app space, here we go,” says GeekWire host Todd Bishop.
Bishop says it’s like a virtual version of magnetic fridge poetry. “You basically shift all these different words around and William Shatner himself has recorded each of the available words with various inflections.”
William Shatner will recite your creation, which the app creator has dubbed “Shatisms.” Through the app, you can share your original Shatisms with friends.
“You can shat at them,” says GeekWire guest Mike Hickey.
While Bishop says it’s a pretty cool app, he says his amusement will likely be short-lived.
“It’s one of those apps that’s probably like William Shatner’s old albums, you play it once, you have a good laugh,” says Bishop.
Shatoetry is currently free – it’s creators say for a limited time – for Android and iPhone.
GeekWire can be heard on KIRO Radio Saturdays at 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Available anytime ON DEMAND at KIRORadio.com.
