Voice Assistive Technology: Enhancements to the autonoME’s “my own voice” Software

(part two)

We are continuing our series highlighting the my-own-voice software developed by Acapela Group.  Accessibility Services, Inc. (ASI) is proud to partner with Acapela Group to provide their advanced voice assistive technology software to our autonoME users.  Version 3 of my-own-voice has many upgrades and added features. Let’s take a look:

Custom Messages

This feature makes the autonoME equipped with my-own-voice the perfect ALS communication device. Users can now record additional custom messages early in their disease progression.  These custom messages will add more intonation and prosody to the synthetic voice.

Voice Tuning Personalization

Another feature that makes the autonoME equipped with my-own-voice such a superior speech generating device is the ability for users to tune their voice in the online type and talk demo page.  This function was available in previous software versions, however, this latest version allows users to save specific settings to ensure the voice is built and delivered with custom settings.

Recorder Applications

The autonoME is all about meeting the customer where they are and providing them with a superior user experience. The latest version of the my-own-voice software offers users the choice to record either in the Acapela recorder application or using the online recorder application.

Voice banking is extremely important to individuals with progressive diseases such as ALS.  The autonoME is a combined custom environmental control unit/speech generating device with advanced augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and voice assistive technology features.
