SOLVE A MYSTERY / CHANGE A LIFE

Rori is 51-years old. In 2013 she began having difficulty walking and speaking. A school teacher, her worsening symptoms forced her to retire 5-years ago. Today, she can no longer walk and she "speaks" by typing her words on her phone and having her husband read them aloud.

"I can no longer speak at all! I can only communicate through text. I have seen numerous medical doctors, neurologists, infectious disease doctors, functional chiropractors, biological dentists, osteopathic doctors, functional medicine doctors, naturopaths, homeopathic doctors and specialists in skeletal and muscular diseases etc. Doctors and specialists have told me I have primary progressive MS, stiff persons disease, mercury poisoning, lyme disease, HSP, PLS, but all the tests inevitably come back negative. No doctor can agree on what I have and no treatment has worked..."

RORI'S VOICE

VocaliD is excited to partner with Chasing the Cure to help Rori regain her vocal independence and her unique individual identity.

In order to help Rori, we need YOUR help. We are looking for women to contribute their voice to Rori so that we can in turn build her a custom synthetic voice that she can use on a text-to-speech app. If your voice is chosen, it will be modified to sound unique to Rori and your anonymity will be strictly protected.

Rori is looking for a voice that sounds ... like her. A voice that captures her spirit and personality.

WHAT IS REQUIRED TO SHARE MY VOICE?

HOW DO I SHARE MY VOICE?

Go to our Human Voicebank Portal and register, audition, then record! It is that easy and all you need is a laptop, quiet room, and a headset with microphone.

WILL RORI SOUND LIKE... ME?​

No, voices contributed will be modified in synthesis to sound unique to Rori and to protect voice contributor anonymity.

CAN I SEND YOU RECORDINGS OF MY VOICE?

Unfortunately not. We require recording within our portal in order to control the quality and compatibility of the recordings so that we can build the very best voice.

DO I NEED A RECORDING STUDIO TO DO THIS?

Not at all! If you have one, great, BUT this can easily be done from a quiet space in your home with just your computer (no tablets or smartphones) and a headset!

CAN I DO THIS ON MY PHONE?

Currently you can only access and record on the Human Voicebank portal via the web using a Mac or PC running *Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.

*We recommend Google Chrome for best quality.

I DON'T HAVE A HEADSET.... ​

Most gaming headsets will work. Do not use one with noise cancellation as this feature can actually distort the recordings and won't allow us to produce a high quality voice. We recommend the Turtle Beach Recon 50 .
