* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': The computer for Sector V talks in a female voice from time to time.'She' is also shown to have emotions worthy of a woman, as seen in one episode where she is in love with numbuh 1, and jealous of Lizzie for being his girlfriend. It also seems that all K.N.D. tree houses have the same female computer voice, shown in the episode "i.t.", where the computer announces how much time is left in the game of 'tag' over the world.
-->Computer: "15 seconds to the end of operation i.t."
-->Numbuh 2: "[[BigNo Noooooo!]]
-->Computer: "Yes"
-->--The computer announcing the end of 'tag', with Numbuh 2 still it.

* ''WesternAnimation/MarsExpress'': Mostly averted, although the setting is futuristic and features many robots. Except for a few large computers, most machines speak very naturally. At some point a robot has to say "I am a robot" in a vocal conversation so as to justify not needing breakfast.
* In ''Anime/VoicesOfADistantStar'', the computer speaks in an English accent. An unusual choice of a female voice given it's a HumongousMecha.

* In ''[[Literature/TheShipWho The City Who Fought]]'' the shellperson running the titular SpaceStation city is male, but he adopts a feminine voice when making announcements - such as when he tries to call an emergency drill to discomfit his [[HandyHelper brawn]] when she finally gets a chance to relax and she chews him out, so he has to tell the station that this was a test and they can return to their stations.

Legitimate Businessmen's Social Club is renamed Totally Not a Criminal Front as per TRS.


** Female Betty user include Origin Jumpworks Gmbh (a BMW expy), Anvil Aerospace (a defense contractor), Drake Interplanetary ([[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub a legitimate builder that does not cater to pirates]]), Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern (utilitarian SpaceTrucker manufacturer), and more expensive RSI offerings. Origin uses a soothing slightly synthetic voice, while MISC uses a grating heavily synthesized voice. Drake and Anvil are both variations on somewhat stern, synthetic voices.

* ''VideoGame/WishboneAndTheAmazingOdyssey'': Invoked -- the Virtual Librarian is an electronic version of Wishbone and has a computer-generated voice, sounding just like Wishbone's but with a faint electronic hum to it.

* Monodam in ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3'' speaks in a stereotypical computer voice to emphasize his more robotic nature compared to the other Monokubs. In the original Japanese version, his dialogue is written in katakana in place of hiragana, and in English, his sentences are in all caps and his words are separated by hyphens, JUST-LIKE-THIS.

* Parodied on ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim:'' Zim's Computer (the AI system for his entire base) often seems to have more common sense than its master, outright ''telling'' Zim that his plans will fail, but is never heeded. At other times it becomes whiny when Zim orders it around, or will even refuse to work at all, complaining that Zim doesn't pay him. It's the electronically distorted voice of [[CreatorCameo Johnen Vasquez]]

* The Emperor's "voice actor" in ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' is apparently an actual text-to-speech device - in fact, the Emperor getting a TTS is the entire premise of the show. He sounds like regular text-to-speech devices with masculine, non-emotive voice. Amusingly, he still tries to get the occasional BigWordShout through it, even though every time it's clear it's not going to work. [[labelnote:*]]As in, "[[AtomicFBomb FUUUUUUUUUCK]]" comes out as "Fiuiuiuiuahck", which has considerably less weight as a curse word.[[/labelnote]]
