How Roger Ebert found his new voice (Q&A) - CNET
Summary
When the famed film critic needed to find a way to communicate after losing his voice to cancer surgery, he turned to text-to-speech (TTS) software that speaks whatever he types. Using someones audio recordings, CereProcs technology can stitch together an entire digital voice that sounds like the actual person. To create a full and accurate layer of speech, CereProc typically brings people into its professional recording studio to read specific voice scripts for several hours. And that led to a spinoff from Edinburgh University called Rhetorical Systems, a company that kind of flowered briefly in the Internet boom and then crashed down. Pidcock: One thing wed like to do in line with the system Ive been talking about is have a Web service where anyone could log on and use your computer microphone to read a small number of sentences.
