Rupal Patel
Dr. Rupal Patel is an Indian American speech scientist and the CEO and founder of VocaliD.[1][2][3] VocaliD is a company that customizes digital voices for people with speech impairments. She collects the limited sounds that her patients are able to make, and matches them with a donated voice from their “Voice Bank”.[1][2][3] This way, people with speech impairments can have computerized voices that match their identities.[2] For example, a young girl's voice will not sound like an adult man.[2] She began research in 2007 and later founded VocaliD in 2014. She has also received grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. She gave a TED talk about her work in 2013. It convinced 1,500 people to sign up to donate their voice.[4][2]
She has a masters, bachelor's degree, and a doctorate in psychology, speech acoustics, and speech-language pathology.[1][3] Patel was on the faculty in the department of bio-behavioral sciences at the Teachers College of Columbia University in 2003.[1]
