Surely you are well-acquinted with Mr. William Shatner’s fantastic spoken-word work. If you aren’t, you should be. If that’s your jam-and it should be-the new Shatoetry app will let you create some of your own, using the Cap’n Kirk’s iconic voice. More »

I think it’s safe to say everyone knows William Shatner, whether it’s from Star Trek, T.J. Hooker, various TV commercials, or Psych. Shat is particularly well known for his “larger than life” acting style and being a generally over-the-top guy. Shatner is also apparently really into spoken-word poetry and has a new app called Shatoetry.
The app has a bunch of different words recorded in Shatner’s distinctive voice that you can piece together to make your own poetry or Shatisms. Think Magnetic Poetry, but with Captain Kirk. The app supports multiple users allowing two users to work together to create their own ridiculous spoken word poems too. Once you create your own Shatoetry, you can share with friends.
The app promises updates with special word packs for holidays and other special occasions. The app is available right now for iOS for $2.99(USD) on the App Store. If you’re willing to throw away your three bucks to try this app out, be sure and let us know if it’s a piece of Shat.

William Shatner and technology go way back, but it’s taken him until today to get his own smartphone app. Then again, he is a man known to take long pauses. Dubbed Shatoetry, the new app (iPhone-only, for the moment) lets you string together a variety of pre-recorded words — each with three different versions — and have the resulting “Shatism” read aloud by Shatner himself. You’re then able to send the message to your friends through all the usual means, or even take advantage of a co-op mode that lets you collaborate on a phrase. Of course, spoken word Shatner on-demand doesn’t come free — the app will set you back $2.99.
