Follow the instructions on the Voice Keeper website to create your voice. As you record your voice,
keep in mind the following tips:
•
Record on a computer with a USB headset/microphone
or
record on an iPhone
®
using the built-
in microphone.
•
Ensure you are recording in a quiet, echo-less room.
•
Although you get a sample of your voice in only 3 minutes (30 sentences), recording 200-300
sentences provides about 80% of optimal quality. The more you record, the better your
synthesized voice will be.
•
Speak naturally. Don’t try to narrate or emphasize pronunciation. Be yourself when you read.
•
Re-record a sentence if you make a mistake.
