that's...that's actually pretty impressive.

She must be a good speller.

What...the....fuck?

That's very, very entertaining for some reason.

Loved "kaleidoscope"!

I used to play this game where we would use the old win 95 sound recorder to reverse a word, figure out how it sounds, then rerecord us saying it in "backwards" speak, and reverse it to see if we got close. It was a lot of fun, but there are some sounds I just can't make

Smart blonde.

Myself and my bandmates used to get very drunk and do this with entire songs. It was just the funniest thing, especially when you went to the trouble of doing the harmonies in a vocal. Learning backwards melodies is well hard because when reversed they make absolutely no sense. Often we'd do only a few words at a time.

Amazing skill that she has, I'd be even more impressed if she could pronounce them phonetically backwards, rather than pronouncing them as if the reverse spelling was an actual word. I enhanced and reversed some of the audio to see how close she was. You can listen on dropbox:

Go Assyla!

I think i can do this.. i thought this was pronouncing things backwards. Now that'd be hard.

@TheSluiceGate well done! The guy sounds like he's speaking Russian, and I can actually pick out a few words she's saying.. flames, silverado (surprisingly), combos, corn nuts, gallon. I don't think I would have understood any had I not watched the original video first though

Too bad she's tee-AB-lee-aj.

SHE'S A WITCH !!!!!!!!

Sinep!

Worst Bangbus ever! -yt

anyone check her work? the only one i checked, Antarctica, was way off

Most *impressive.

Note that she's pronouncing the reverse of the spelling of each word, not the sound of each word (example: "batch" as "hick-tab" versus "chab"), which has a much higher degree of difficulty than the latter.

I often find myself reading printed words backwards all the time like on street signs, etc., but I don't have Alyssa's immense talent to imagine a word in my mind's eye and read it reversed in a split second.

Her neck must hurt from carrying around that big brain all the time.

That's an insane talent. I don't think everyone can do this. I couldn't even fathom how. It's probably just a genetic trait for some people, because I certainly don't think most people analyze the phonetics or spelling of a word as they hear them. I could probably do this for one word after about 30 seconds of thinking hard about it.

I think lucky760 hit the nail on the head there. She's seeing the word in her head and reading it backwards like a sign I used to be able to do simple math in my head the same way by imagining that I had a chalk board in my head. Though admittedly she is doing it really really fast. Props!

that must be an extreme form of dyslexia.

*skillful

Adding video to channels (Skillful) - requested by Deano.

"funny enough." say "funny enough" backwards.

Able was I ere I saw Elba

I'm disappointed nobody came up with "antidisestablishmentarianism"...

Quick stick her in a IRM

It's a visual/spatial, abstraction thing. She might be a synesthete who sees words when she hears them.

In the Okanagan, we have a sea creature called the Ogopogo much like the lock nes - Quick, say it backwards!
