Meet Cristian, he is one of four children in his classroom who use the “Adam” voice. Although Cristian can express himself through the Speak For Yourself Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app, his vocal identity is hidden.
Speak For Yourself and VocaliD* are changing that! We are excited to announce that our companies will be working together to make VocaliD’s personalized voice service available on Speak For Yourself.
VocaliD’s cutting-edge technology blends Cristian’s natural sounds with speech recordings from a matched donor to create a voice that is as understandable as the donor but reflects Cristian’s vocal identity. Pre-order a VocaliD voice during their crowdfunding campaign at significantly below cost and be amongst the first few people ever to receive a custom crafted voice.
At Speak For Yourself we understand that this breakthrough presents an extraordinary opportunity for the AAC community. A voice is as unique and personal as a fingerprint. Friends, family, and recipients themselves will be able to recognize the individual voice and connect with it; many parents will hear their child’s voice for the first time. We are proud to be an early partner in helping bring this innovation to market which will provide the opportunity to Speak for Yourself…through your own VocaliD voice.
