Hello,
My name is Brendan Kennedy and I'm a reporter in the Living section of the Toronto Star, Canada's largest daily newspaper.
I'm working on a story about a British man named Laurence Brewer, who has motor neurone disease. In anticipation that he may lose his speech, Mr. Brewer is using an American voice-recognition software Model Talker to preserve his voice so that he will still be able to read to his 13-month-old son in his true accent. The attraction of using this software is that, at least in theory, it reproduces your voice more accurately than other synthetic speech software.
Here's a link to a BBC video: BBC News - Motor neurone disease patient banks speech patterns
I'm looking for Canadians, particularly those in the Toronto area, who have used or are using some type of voice-recognition software to preserve their voice.
If you might be comfortable speaking to me, please send me an email or give me a call. My contact info is below.
Thanks,
Brendan
