Rudolf von B\u00fcnau, co-foun\u00adder and CEO of Altavo: \u00bbThe voice is an important part of our per\u00adso\u00adna\u00adlity. Its loss is dif\u00adfi\u00adcult for many pati\u00adents to cope with and sever\u00adely rest\u00adricts their qua\u00adlity of life.\u00ab The tech\u00adni\u00adcal imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion of the idea works like this: the move\u00adments of the ton\u00adgue, palate and lips are recor\u00added using radar tech\u00adno\u00adlogy. The sen\u00adsors for this are atta\u00adched to the cheeks and voice out\u00adput is pro\u00advi\u00added via a small loud\u00adspea\u00adker near the mouth. To feed the AI of the \u00bbPro\u00admise-AI\u00ab pro\u00adject, which is also fun\u00added by the Fede\u00adral Minis\u00adtry of Edu\u00adca\u00adtion and Rese\u00adarch, the Altavo team is dili\u00adgently coll\u00adec\u00adting dona\u00adti\u00adons of votes. \u00bbAn important part of our work is to coll\u00adect mas\u00adses of trai\u00adning data for AI,\u00ab says Peter Birk\u00adholz, Pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of Lan\u00adguage Tech\u00adno\u00adlogy and Cogni\u00adtive Sys\u00adtems at TU Dres\u00adden. The test sub\u00adjects read various texts aloud for more than an hour while the radar sen\u00adsors in their face record the move\u00adments of their ton\u00adgue, lips and palate. The com\u00adpany, which was foun\u00added in 2021, is now plan\u00adning a cli\u00adni\u00adcal trial and wants to test the tech\u00adno\u00adlogy on pati\u00adents for the first time. They should then speak in a voice that sounds like their for\u00admer voice. \u00bbIde\u00adally, there should be a recor\u00adding of this \u2013 even short snip\u00adpets of sound are often enough. In future, tar\u00adge\u00adted voice recor\u00addings could be made before every laryn\u00adgec\u00adtomy.\u00ab You can find more infor\u00adma\u00adtion about Altavo on the <\/i> website.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
