A man who uses text-to-speech software to communicate is celebrating his “dream come true” after receiving a new voice from two donors.
Christian Wilson, from Bromsgrove, has verbal dyspraxia, which means he finds it difficult to place his muscles in the correct position to produce speech.
He had used an off-the-shelf system but said that had made him sound too “robotic”.
Now Stephen Robotham, from Warwickshire, and Martin Brennan, of Birmingham, have had their voices combined to create the Brummie/Warwickshire accent Mr Wilson was hoping for.
