Just received an email from Melodyne's Director of Marketing saying that he has requested support from Engineering and has forwarded my idea and request for support. Perhaps they realize the potential for speech-impaired people like me. A forward-thinking company leaves no stone unturned. I may have merely alerted a firm, in a much better position than me to bring it to fruition, of an untapped market of speech-disabled singer/musicians. Anyway, don't count Melodyne out yet. It's just that the bigger wheels turn much slower. You can quote me on that.

Bummer, I got a call from my VA Speech Therapist, the wonderful lady that ordered my DynaVox Maestro, and she said the order has been delayed 6 to 8 weeks while awaiting funding. She told me up front that other veterans were in the queue ahead of me but I had assumed a month or so and it is 5+ weeks already. I've been chomping at the bit until I've bit the bit clean in two! Hey buddy, you wouldn't happen to have $16,000.00 for a cup of coffee, would you?
She said there is not a doubt of my getting it, the order has already been approved, it's just a matter of waiting my turn.
Color me dark delta blue with disappointment trim.

Meanwhile you could use the waiting time effectively by downloading the demos and start learning how to add pitch & melody to a synthetic voice. If you already have access to the voice, and a way to save it to a sound file then all you need is a Melodyne demo, available here: http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?id=demosthis is a 30 day demo, almost as long as the wait for your dynavox. If you don't have a way to convert typed text to audio speech then save it as an MP3, here's is a downloadable app that will let you do exactly that: http://download.cnet.com/Text-Speaker/3000-7239_4-10877963.html

Good morning, Pat.
I still have my original DynaVox V/Max (qv) that I can record for synthesized speech sampling but the Maestro allows direct recording to solid state hard drive, no acoustic coupling or digital recording required. Also, a broader selection of "voices" to chose from. As it is now, I must acoustically couple to my digital voice recorder from less than ideal DynaVox speakers, through all levels of extraneous ambient noise, then into my DAW. Too many ways to degrade the specimens (I recently was called a fine physical specimen then I learned what those blinking medicos call specimen. Not pretty). I already have received the AutoTune software so am okay on that score.
Hopefully, I will have some MP3 speech specimens ready for serious analysis this weekend. Stay tuna!
