my-own-voice
The my-own-voice service created by Acapela Group is the first multilingual service of its kind, since it allows users to record the voice by themselves, using only the my-own-voice website (bundled with a windows or MAC OS recorder application) and a common microphone, as for instance a regular headset (learn more about the type of microphone and headset required in the FAQ section).
The amount of speech to be recorded to create a voice is minimized so that even people who are not trained as a professional speaker, or who are weakened by illness, are able to make a recording.
my-own-voice is currently allowing creation of voices in several languages including AUS, US & UK English, German, French & Canadian French, Dutch & Flemish, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish & North American Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian and more to come.
