Have Any Of You Ever Had A Phone Call From A "Spy" That Used A Good Friends Voice And Phone Number?

Such technology has been available for at least 15 years. It is just smaller, more portable now and quicker now. The box that they used in the early 1990's was based on a 200MHz processor and had a definite delay after the agent spoke, to processes the words. It basically works by loading a fragment of sound into an input buffer and applying a curve smoothing function, called a Fourier transform to the wave, then moving it out to an output buffer, where the output wave was assembled. In the original box the delay was between one eighth and one quarter of a second. Using a modern 3GHz processor and large multi-megabyte buffers much larger segments of speak are processed at once and much faster and give the illusion of being in real time. The actual delay is less than one on-hundredth of a second.

Just the email deal.
Thanks for the heads-up !
