A Comparison of Manual and Automatic Voice Repair for Individual with Vocal Disabilities

Abstract: When individuals lose the ability to produce their own speech, due to degenerative diseases such as motor neurone disease (MND) or Parkinson's, they lose not only a functional means of communication but also a display of their individual and group identity. In order to build personalized synthetic voices, attempts have been made to capture the voice before it is lost, using a process known as voice banking. But, for some patients, the speech deterioration frequently coincides or quickly follows diagnosis. Usin… Show more

“…To generate these responses, several common systems are employed. Voice banking and phrase banking have been in use in various systems, notably in telephony systems and for individuals with vocal disabilities [66], for several decades. However, the systems have been superseded by synthesis approaches that produce naturalistic intonation and rhythm patterns.…”

“…Socalled 'voice cloning' software, such as the Adobe VoCo, Lyrebird, CandyVoice, CereVoice Me, or Baidu's Deep Voice packages (Ping et al 2018), has a variety of benign applications, for example to assist patients who have lost the ability to speak because of degenerative illness (e.g. Veaux, Yamagishi & King 2015). But it poses a threat if it can even occasionally successfully gain access to secure data -financial data, personal information, medical records, etc.…”
