SpeakUnique: Personalised synthetic voices for AAC devices

SpeakUnique offer a voice banking service, creating personalised synthetic voices for use in communication aids, by people whose speech has been or will be affected by a medical condition. They offer three different voice banking services depending on the user's speech needs - including options to repair synthetic voices if speech is impaired and designing bespoke voices if no natural speech is possible. Voice banking is a process through which people record a set list of sentences, by reading aloud into a microphone. The recording is then used to create a synthetic voice.

In this webinar, we will explain the different voice banking options available through SpeakUnique, and who may benefit from our service, as well as how the personalised voice is accessed and what devices it may be used on. We will offer advice on completing a recording and what equipment is needed. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the webinar.
