The famous film critic Robert Ebert lost his voice in a battle to cancer. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002 over a series of surgeries he lost his voice and lower jaw, taking away his ability to speak, eat and drink anything. To communicate he has been relying on TTS (text-to-text speech), a software that speaks whatever he types. TTS is far from perfect, and only allows a computer voice to talk for him.
While on his website he discovered a new kind of TTS called CereProc that builds voices on a persons actual recordings.
