I am not an SLP, but I can speak for our three clinics in the NY area, and I do not know of any patients that have done voice banking (creating a synthesized voice).

Subject: Voice Banking

 

Hi everyone,

 

I am sort of surveying other SLP’s that work with AAC to find out who out there is presently doing voice banking, and if so what type of voice banking? I have heard other therapists tell me that they regularly voice bank with their patients but I am curious if they mean phrase banking or do they mean creating a synthesized voice for their patient.  If you do voice bank do you wait until the patient has a device and record it directly to their device or do you record it to your own device and transfer the files later?

 

I am very curious to find out! I am currently recording my own voice to create a synthesized voice and it’s very time consuming and taxing. Has anyone else done this?
