voice banking

I'm keen to have your advice! I am in the fortunate position of still being able to speak quite clearly in short bursts. I am finding conversation almost impossible because I have no volume at all, buy my pronounciation is fine. All of which means that I can still record words and phrases...

Hello pals, I know this is not a new subject around here, but I thought I'd get brave and post my first thread. I am starting to slur certain words, usually at night when I am tired. Friends have begun to notice it so that is helping me come out of denial about it. I have several questions. How...

How quickly can a PALS lose speech? 2 weeks ago, the speech pathologist told my husband he was a good candidate for voice banking. In the last few days, I can barely understand my husband. Isn't that fast? Could it be something else? We live in the South. It is hot and humid. Lot of "stuff" in...

Has anyone tried this for voice banking? Our speech pathologist recommended it for my husband because it will record words and then synthesize them so that he has a full program with his own voice (or what's left of it!). She said he should be a good candidate and it works well with the Dynavox...

I don't know if all states offer this program, I imagine they do since it is part of the Dept. of Labor, but I thought I would pass along what I learned yesterday. I met with a representative from the SD Dept of Vocational Rehab and because I am a business owner and am having difficulty using...

ALS is a somewhat unpredictable disease. We think we know what is coming next but I have been having surprises. My first symptom was difficulty speaking. My words were slightly slurred and my voice a bit rough. Shortly afterwards I noticed slight weakness in my right hand - especially when...

If you plan on using Model Talker for voice banking, make the recordings on the computer you plan to use in the future. On that PC its sounds somewhat like me. I am using a netbook now, and I loaded my model talker voice software. It does not sound at all like me. I think I might use the AAC...

I am starting to have slight problems with my tongue.. nothing too major, but I'd like to start voice banking. I know thousands of people have headed down this path before & I'm sure many have wished they had recorded something they hadn't thought about. Is anyone aware of a list of most...

I am scheduled in a few weeks to attend a clinic to make choices for voice banking. I should have done this months ago but kept finding reasons to put it off ~ and regretting it now, of course! The OT explained that we cannot make a generic recording, that the devices my recordings will be...

Hi, Everyone! I've done a search here and gone back and read old posts about this topic but wonder if anyone has anything to add. Unfortunately I'm past the point of voice banking. I've read about ERICA and Eyegaze, both of which use vision tracking. Is that hard to control? Seems like a good...
