Actress, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s widow actress Majel Barret Roddenberry had several roles in Star Trek lore including Number One in the first Star Trek pilot with Captain Christopher Pike, Nurse Chapel in the original Star Trek TV series, and Deanna Troi’s mother Luxanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation. And for all star ships in the TV series she has also played the voice of the Federation starship supercomputers.
Despite her passing, it appears her voice recordings were saved phonetically and she may very well be the voice of the Star Trek: Discovery’s supercomputer when the series launches in January 2017! Very cool news.
Majel's voice is recorded phonetically, &we're working to get her voice for things such as Siri, maybe voice of the computer on #STDiscovery
