Here's a good deed you can do without parting with a single thing.Synthetic(合成的) voices for people who have lost the ability to speak only come in generic( —般的) types — think of Stephen Hawking's voice — but one amazing project wants to build custom voices for each person. To do that they need your help: specifically,a recording of your voice.
VocallD is the brainchild of two speech scientists,who are turning their research into a much larger project. Voice is very personal and,like a prosthetic(假体) leg or arm,it makes sense it should be customized to each person.
Here's how it works — and don't worry,this does not mean someone will be walking around with the same voice as you out there:
After recording a couple of hours of audio in,say,a quiet room with an iPhone,you send it to Vocall D. where a program called ModelTalker cuts it up into the basic units of speech that can be recombined as new words and sentences. In that same step,characteristics of the patient's voice — based on what limited sounds they can make 一 are mixed with the donor's to create a whole new one.
VocallD is still in its beginning stages,and they're looking for help from everyone including voice donors,financial support,and programmers. A priority(优先的事物) is making voice donation even easier,cutting down recording time,especially for kids. But as it stands already,your voice is just about the easiest thing to donate.

D. sounded amazing
7. We can infer that VocallD aims to .
