Voice Preservation Clinic

Voice banking is the process of recording your speech prior to voice loss. This is done on VocaliD’s Human Voicebank portal. You will be prompted to read aloud short stories and other content of your interest. These recordings are stored in an anonymized format and available for your use or to create a custom blended voice for those who may not have had the opportunity to bank their own voice. If you decide to purchase your Vocal Legacy voice, your recordings will be used to build your own personalized synthetic voice.

Voice Preservation is a proactive way to keep control of your vocal destiny. Individuals living with head and neck cancer, ALS, Parkinson Disease and other degenerative conditions often choose to preserve their voice so that they can use a personalized voice on their assistive communication device.

Yes, many patients also choose to message bank. This is where you record specific voice messages that can be replayed in the future. Message banking will allow users to hear their original voice but only for those stored messages; voice banking allows users to compose any message in their digital voice.

We recommend at least 40 minutes of recorded speech to create a reasonable quality voice. Of course the more speech and the better the quality of the recordings, the better the clarity and naturalness of the digital voice. We recommend banking around 1500 sentences across several sessions to ensure that you have enough high quality audio for voice building. Recordings should be broken up into 15-20 minute sessions to optimize quality and minimize fatigue. vocalid.ai/faq/#gettingstarted
