We get quite a few requests for this at Resemble (https://resemble.ai). We can get her to record right on our website or you can upload an existing file (along with a video of her consent) on the platform. Feel free to shoot me a message and I'd be happy to help build a voice for her.

I dont know how to send messages but I researched this space a few years ago. Unfortunately a family member of mine had a surgery result in loss of his speech.

We have a lot of tapes around of his voice, from voice mails to family videos to some things from his work. If you are open to reaching out that would be awesome, I’ll check out the site as well.

Edit: I’ve wanted to make some sort of soundboard + “text to talk” setup for this family member. He often can’t participate in conversations because he writes on a whiteboard, and the speed of chatter moves faster than his writing

Feel free to shoot me an email: zohaib[at]resemble.ai

We also have an API that you might find useful for the soundboard project: https://app.resemble.ai/docs

Wow, this looks like a great service!

Out of interest what are the average response times to generate a clip of one or two sentences from a configured voice?

Imagining the easy text-to-speech solution the OP could build on this resemble API.

Thanks! We do have a synchronous real-time API and latency is one of the bigger issues that we're trying to improve on now. At the moment, you can expect speeds that are 10x faster than realtime.

Just FYI, your page keeps jumping on mobile as it renders and erases words. Not a good experience if I'm trying to read.
