The ModelTalker System is a speech synthesis software package for people who use a Speech Generating Device (SGD). It allows people to communicate with a personal synthetic voice that is representative of their own voice. The system uses recorded speech (either from a prospective SGD user or from a voice donor) to create a unique synthetic voice. This synthetic voice can be used to express almost anything, including words and phrases that were not recorded.
