Voice Banking and Message Banking
Voice banking is a process in which software records your voice and makes a computer version that can help you communicate if you lose your ability to speak. It doesn’t re-create your voice and manner of speaking exactly, but it makes something that sounds close.
Message banking is a simpler process in which you record meaningful or helpful phrases and sounds that you can play later to communicate. You might record “I love you,” “Thank you so much,” “I need help,” or even the sound of yourself laughing. These can carry the unique tone, nuance, and emphasis of your own way of speaking.
