A young man from Bromsgrove might just finally have found a voice to call his own. Christian Wilson is a student at the University of Worcester, who has verbal dyspraxia. His condition means he can't speak in the sense that many of us can - as he relies on text-to-speech software, typing out what he wants to say before the computer reads it out. At the moment, Christian's voice sounds, in his words, a little bit robotic. He wants his own unique one - and we desperately wanted to help. His requirements were quite specific: he wanted a voice with a Birmingham accent, with a hint of Warwickshire, so he could sound like his late dad. Through computer wizardry, they will be combined in to one single voice, as he told Tammy Gooding.
