A digital avatar is able to speak what she is thinking, using a copy of her voice recorded during a toast she gave at her own wedding.
A woman who hasn’t uttered a word for years after a paralyzing stroke has regained the ability to speak through artificial intelligence.
The on-screen avatar — which Johnson chose herself — is then able to “speak” what she is thinking, using a copy of her voice recorded years ago during a 15-minute toast she gave at her wedding. Ann Johnson is now able to “talk,” through a digital avatar, for the first time in years since a stroke rendered her paralyzed.“Not being able to hug and kiss my children hurt so bad, but it was my reality,” Johnson said. “The real nail in the coffin was being told I couldn’t have more children.”
Instead of whole words, the AI program was taught to recognize phonemes, the units of speech that form spoken words. “Hello,” for example, contains four phonemes: “HH,” “AH,” “L” and “OW.” “It’s what gives a user the potential, in time, to communicate almost as fast as we do, and to have much more naturalistic and normal conversations.”
