About the Work
Project Revoice uses a unique deep learning algorithm to analyze recorded audio data and create a complete digital clone of a person’s voice. When integrated with text-to-speech devices, this gives people with ALS (Motor Neurone Disease) the ability to speak freely and naturally in their own voice, even after they lose it. We launched this life-changing program by recreating the voice of Pat Quinn, ALS sufferer and co-founder of the Ice Bucket Challenge, using audio from interviews and speeches as raw material. We then integrated Pat’s ‘Revoice’ with his eye-tracking computer and captured the moment when he finally spoke again. Going forward, this program will change the lives of ALS patients worldwide.
