What ModelTalker is

ModelTalker helps people who are losing or have lost the ability to speak create a personal synthetic voice. Users record speech, hear preliminary voice versions, and decide whether to pay for and download a completed voice. Recording is available through a web tool or the MTVR recorder, which runs only on Windows. The Gen3 inventory has about 300 sentences; a standard inventory has over 3,000, and custom recording is available. Voices can be used on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. ModelTalker provides Mac and iOS apps, and the iOS app can install a voice as an iOS system voice. Windows voices follow Microsoft SAPI 5 and work with compatible speech-aware software, but not Microsoft Store apps using its other TTS standard. Listed compatible iOS AAC apps include Predictable, ChatAble, and TD Talk. Voice construction has a 100.00 USD one-time service fee payable before download; donors and clinicians can create voices without the fee. The fee includes assistance, voice construction, and an archived backup, with copies currently available for up to 18 months.
