Project Revoice
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Digital Marketing / Creative Use of Technology / 2019
Project Revoice uses a unique deep learning algorithm to analyze the DNA of a person’s voice and create a complete digital voice clone. When integrated with text-to-speech devices, this gives people with ALS (Motor Neurone Disease) the ability to speak freely and naturally in their own voice, even after they physically can’t. The program launched by recreating the voice of Pat Quinn – ALS sufferer and co-founder of the Ice Bucket Challenge – using old interviews and speeches as raw material. Going forward, this program will change the lives of ALS patients worldwide.
