Some of you may not know, but the film critic Roger Ebert has recently lost his voice due to complications after cancer surgery.

If he still wants to continue his career, he could just write on, or he could get one of these text-to-speech devices, such as Stephen Hawking.

That, or working with a Scottish company CereProc by combining the number of hours of recordings from At The Movies, Siskel and Ebert and the movies, and Ebert and Roeper and the Movies on a database for voice and create the daily vocabulary. It would be relatively easy to make every word sounds like the other words.

I think it is a way to build a library for the people who make losing her voice, like Ebert. Of course, had you probably have a lot of voice recordings for this database. I'm not sure how many syllables and vowels are, but it sounds like a complicated process.

Somehow, I think it is a means of preserving the voice of a person for an eternity, really. I once heard that a company can use the picture of a celebrity after he or she died. This certainly explains seem like John Wayne on the Coors ads.

I suppose if you really had a voice database for each person, you say too late to get celebrities, what you want. That would explain a recent announcement for One Laptop Per Child “with John Lennon.

Take this technology one step further and died a few new tracks were cut. Man, that's not quite right.
