I went to a SEN school and I knew people who used touch talker machines to speak. The weird thing is that they only seem to have 1 accent. They all sound American and I went to a SEN school in the north east of England. I'I'm sure technology has advanced since then and touch talker machines can be personalised to have a regional accent, based on where the user is from.

Yes it is a real shame about the lack of identity with speech technologies. I have seen some regional accents being developed, so hopefully this becomes more popular.
