Personalise your voice
Personalise any installed voice in Grid, to create a voice individual to you. Change the pitch and speed of your voice to sound how you want and use the pronunciation tools to sound out uncommon words and names correctly.
Voice banking
Using voice banking is the process of recording your voice, so that it can be used to create a personalised voice to use in Grid that sounds like you.
We work with a range of voice banking services who specialise in recording and creating voices which can be added to Grid, for individuals with conditions like Motor Neurone Disease.
Grid supports voices from Acapela, Nuance, Real Speak, Cereproc, Speak Unique, Model Talker and more.
Message banking
Message banking in Grid allows you to install a pre-recorded phrase in your own voice, and continue to say them exactly how you would want them to sound, once you start using AAC.
Message banking was designed to enable people who still have speech to record personal phrases using their natural voice and intonation.
Find everything you need to get started with Grid on the Smartbox Hub. Explore voice banking, personalisation, and FAQs.
