Are you able to speak?  Would you like to help others do the same?

VOCALiD is an app for use via iPhone that allows users to essentially donate their voice so that it may be used to create synthetic speech for those with severe speech impediments, or otherwise without clear voices of their own.

All you need to become a speech donor is an internet connection, a microphone, and a quiet environment to record in.  Your voice will be blended with those of others in order to create new, unique synthetic voices suited to each recipient (i.e., no worries if you’re concerned with anyone recognizing your voice coming from someone else).

Contributing your voice to the Human Voice Bank Initiative costs nothing, and only requires signing up for a free VOCALiD account.  If you’d like to become even further involved with the project, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind volunteers or donations (but, again–you aren’t obligated to give anything more than what you want to).  Just reading through the various given sentences may eventually give someone else the ability to convey those same sentences in a voice made just for them.

For those interested, the VOCALiD homepage can be found here.  If you have any concerns before signing up, the VOCALiD Terms of Use page can be found here.

Passing this around again, because it’s just a really great idea, and could help a lot of people.  I plan on joining myself when I have a better microphone (or I might just use Morty’s).  And, again, it’s totally free to do.

I don’t usually add commentary, but this is genius, and I’m doing it, and we should all contribute, this is honestly so wonderful, bless the people that worked through and created this.

Exploring Mumbai’s Hidden Sanctuaries with @chefyash

To see more of his photography, follow @chefyash on Instagram. Check out #LifeOnEarthWWIM13 to learn more about this year’s Worldwide InstaMeet, taking place Earth Day weekend (April 22-24), where people explore and share photographic tips while taking photos and videos together.

In the early hours of the morning, chef Yash Rane (@chefyash) scours Mumbai’s colorful Crawford Market, gathering the best ingredients for his new tapas bar. “Whatever I use for my food sampling, I go myself to the market to purchase,” Yash says. Amid Mumbai’s bustling action, he escapes daily errands by picking up his camera. In the spirit of Earth Day, which corresponds with this year’s Worldwide InstaMeet, Yash and others will plant 150 trees inside one of the city’s sanctuaries: Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The vast protected area in northern Mumbai houses a zoo, forested grounds, gardens and the historic Kanheri Caves. “People are busy observing other people, doing yoga and enjoying time with their families,” Yash says of the park’s atmosphere. He hopes his InstaMeet will educate people in the park and inspire a reforestation movement.
