What is Voice Cloning?
Voice cloning refers to the process of recording a set of messages using your own natural speech and using these recordings to create an electronic 'clone' of your authentic voice. This synthetic voice can be incorporated into a speech generating device to create novel messages when verbal speech is no longer reliable.

Anyone who is at-risk for changes or loss in the ability to speak can benefit from these processes. Common populations include those with diagnoses of ALS, MS, Head/Neck Cancer, or other disorders that pose a risk to an individual's ability to speak.
