At the very least they've definitely been run through a middle-man at some point. So what they've done is put a microphone in a library, grabbed whatever audio is on it, voice recognition'd it and then cleaned it up, and uploaded it to Twitter. And hidden it inside a lamp. shrug

They are not even using software for voice recognition. Instead, they are paying people pennies an hour to do it on Mturk.
