Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day, and I’ve worked in enough offices surrounded by folks who find this much more hilarious than I do, to know that this is a bit of a big deal – so I thought I’d take a quick look at what’s on offer on the iPhone in this important area.
As many of you know, there are a large number of pirate apps, and talking like a pirate apps, for the iPhone.
My comprehensive (cough) 5-minute review of this category of apps helped me find one app I’d suggest avoiding and one I think is pretty entertaining.
Talk Like a Pirate sounded promising – as it not only shows its pirate phrases on the iPhone screen, but also speaks them for you. Unfortunately, the phrases included in the app seem a little lame and boring, and the voice that speaks them is robotic and beyond lame and boring. I’d suggest giving this one a miss.
A much better – and free – choice is the Pirate Insult Generator app. It’s got a little more bite and attitude to it.
I’m going to try hard to find an opportunity to use that one today. 
If you search for ‘talk like a pirate’ in the App Store, you’ll see these and other choices. Let us know what your favorite pirate apps and phrases are if you feel like.
