Thanks Jenna,

That's right, I forgot about them, must have got lost months back when I was scouring the internet.  Do you know anyone who has gone through this voice creation process from beginning to end?

Check out VocaliD.  https://www.vocalid.co/  The founder was my Professor in grad school and she is fantastic!  There is a link to her TED talk on the site.  I believe the cost is around $1,000.  Even PALS with severe dysarthria can have a custom voice.

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to ensure I have a comprehensive list of voice synthesis creation companies to recommend to clients. Here is what I have:

ModelTalker: Free but will shortly be charging ~$100 for SAPI Windows voice creation.
Acapela: $2,500 for SAPI Windows Voice Creation
CereProc: https://www.cereproc.com/en/services/voicecreation <--- Anyone know the cost of Cereproc's and opinions on usability and quality of voice that is created?

Any other ones that I don't know about? I'm not finding a middle ground in cost anywhere online...

Eager to hear opinions as well specific to people with ALS, as I only have clients that have used Modetalker.
