The computer voice is an audio interface program designed to allow computers to express information verbally. Many civilizations, such as the Federation and the Cardassian Union, equip their computers with this feature.
The computer voice of the USS Enterprise was reprogrammed in 2267 on Cygnet XIV, with the intent on giving it a less mechanized personality. The resulting modifications caused the computer to address James Kirk in an increasingly amorous manner. (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday")
