From: Medical Design Technology - 08/08/2016

VocaliD, Inc., a speech technology company that creates personalized digital
voices for those living with voicelessness, has launched its online BeSpoke
voice studio.

The BeSpoke process captures a recipient's unique vocal identity and blends
it with recordings from a healthy speaker — matched by gender, age and accent
- within the company's voice bank of 14,000+ - plus contributors. This blended
voice is then used in the recipient's electronic communications device -
creating a BeSpoke voice.

VocaliD's vision is to provide affordable, personalized and natural-sounding
voices for the voiceless.
