I also did this when I drove to ICT last year. I even got something like 3 or 4 tossups because of it, it was amusing. The computer really gets in trouble with some foreign names though.
I'm personally in support of the idea wherein all matches are pre-recorded as read by R. and all the moderators do is hit pause and play.
