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). Assistive Technology

[mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Erin Singleton 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? Erin Singleton M.A., CCC-SLP Office: (559) 459-6056 Cell: (559) 250-1949 Fax: (559) 459-2957 Email:
