Voice Build – this will create a synthetic replica of your own voice that can be used on your communication aid. This is for individuals who have a medical condition that will likely affect their speech but have not yet experienced significant speech symptoms.
Voice Repair – this options is ideal if you have noticed significant changes in your speech or struggle to articulate words. SpeakUnique can “repair” your voice and create a synthetic version.
For Voice Build or Voice Repair you will need to set up an account with SpeakUnique. You will be asked to record between 150–300 sentences. If you find the process becomes tiring your recording can be completed across several sessions.
You will need access to a PC or laptop and an external headset with microphone.
Your synthetic voice can be used on Apple, Android, or Windows devices.
We would ask that you discuss voice banking with your Speech and Language Therapist before starting. They will discuss the best voice banking options for you.
Please note that this service is funded, but not delivered, by the MSA Trust.
