Heather the Scottish Computer Voice needs a brother!

Posted by Robert Stewart on the 15th October, 2010

The Scottish Voice has been very well received by the Scottish educational community and we know that she is being used to listen to:

• SQA digital exams;
• novels;
• digital textbooks;
• Microsoft Word documents;
• resources on Glow.

She is also used by children who can’t speak and who use voice output communication aids.

Heather needs a brother! Some boys have said that they would like to listen to digital resources spoken in a male Scottish voice, and we don’t think that Heather is acceptable for boys who use communication aids. If you were a boy, would you like your voice to sound like Heather, lovely though she is?

We are hoping to raise funds to enable CereProc to create a sibling for Heather. Please contact us if you have any comments or suggestions about where we could get the money, or about a male Scot who has a good voice that we could approach to become the (male) voice of Scottish education!
