Dear Jose Carlos,

I would like to know a bite more your work, if it's possible. I ask for
because I'm planning to start try to generate 'personalized' voices for
impaired people. So they can have some reinforcement having their own voice
as a identity element. Also with my lip-sync method, I think it is possible
to help blind people or visual impaired to 'read'  the words better
avoiding the McGurk effect while they are using interfaces.
Well, you know, scientific curiosity only.

Thanks!!
