The computer voice is an 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")
Background
The computer voice on most Federation starship and fixed installation computers has been portrayed by Majel Barrett Roddenberry since the early days of the original series (with the exception of some early TNG episodes). Majel's computer voice in TOS was very rhythmic and mechanical, and in the later series' it became a far more normal-sounding female voice.
In Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the computer voice of the USS Excelsior turbolift was played by Frank Force (a pseudonym assumed by Leonard Nimoy). Harve Bennett provided the flight recorder voice in the same movie, during the playback of the scenes showing Spock's death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
The Cardassian computer system, as used on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, is voiced by Majel Barrett Roddenberry and Judi Durand, who also voiced the Federation system in many of Activision's video game releases.
