Roger Ebert lost his ability to speak after surgery for cancer. He had recorded commentaries for several DVD movies before he lost his voice [Citizen Kane being one of the best he did, must listen]. A Scottish company called CereProc blended digital recordings of Ebert speaking to make his text-to-audio voice. Ebert says it has has helped him regain a voice his grandchildren can recognize, and as you will see in the clip below, as does his wife Chaz.
Ebert lost his ability to speak after surgery for cancer. He has been doing a lot of writing online, reviews and a blog. Ebert writes that the voice will be heard predicting Oscar winners on a segment of The Oprah Winfrey Show airing Tuesday. He says he may be able to use the voice for radio and webcasts. I continue to be impressed by how Ebert is living his life.
