Hi Liz,

One of my clients has recently been asking the same questions.
Have you looked at the following sites to create synthesized speech?

We haven't tried it, but would be interested to hear from anyone who has.

Best wishes,
Tracy

Subject: Voice sampling enquiry

We have recently beed approached by a person with a degenerative condition 
who wants to do some voice banking, before their speech deteriorates 
further.  We would really appreciate any advice the group can offer 
regarding how we could go about this, any specific software which can be 
used, what quality the sounds are, and how easy it is to use the samples 
on different voice output communcaition aids.  Finally is it possible to 
take sufficient voice samples to create their own synthesised voice - if 
so what would be needed to achieve this?
