Hi Amy,
I’d like the spreadsheet as well. Thank you!
My patients are pretty happy with the quality of Modeltalker, and I’ve heard them as well, and find that they sound like the patients’ natural voices with about ~70% accuracy (if one can quantify that).

Hi Erin,
I have a spreadsheet that compares about 6 products. I don't think I can attach it on this listserv but I will send it to you.
Typically though, I still recommend ModelTalker. I would love to hear people's thoughts on quality. I have been happy with many of the
ModelTalker voices. MT now states: 400 sentences is about the minimum one can record and expect to get a usable voice. At about 800 sentences, we find that the improvement in intelligibility begins to plateau. From 800 to 1600 most of the improvement is
due to improvement in prosody.
Sincerely,
Amy Roman, MS, CCC-SLP

I am looking for any updates on new voice banking software. Is model Talker still the best for voice banking?
