Hey John,
These are fantastic developments.  I have a question about the first video and what exactly is happening.

Let me know if I have this right-    The user created an Acapela synthesized voice that actually sounded better than their banked messages and then you used the synthesized voice to go back and correct sounds in the banked message?

 Please post directions for using these two applications together.  Thanks.

Sincerely,

 First is using our Message
 Banking(TM) model to create novel voice with Acapela MOV
 (double dipping). After creating this voice where the voice
 bank is CLEARER than the original dysarthric banked
 speech...
  I am cautiously optimistic that we can continue to learn
 how to help many more people with ALS to preserve their
 voice.

 Second is showing someone’s
 message bank (that was fully downloaded and pages auto
 created from our free to anyone mymessagebanking.com site)
 and double dipped voice bank, co-existing seamlessly and
 being
  stored on the SAME page and speaking together.  We
 have done this double dip for many people now with multiple
 using message and voice bank fully integrated in their SGD.

 Hope this helps others.
