CATERS

Jason Liversidge will be able to talk in his native Yorkshire accent

Jason Liversidge will be able to talk in his native Yorkshire accent, thanks to a specially-created electronic voice.

A specialist team used recordings from a speech he gave at his sister’s wedding and blended it with those of local men, including Jason’s best pal Phil White.

It sounds really good. I know it’s me

Jason Liversidge

Mr Liversidge, 41, from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, told the BBC’s Inside Out programme he wanted to keep his accent to talk to daughters Poppy and Lilly and wife Liz.

He said: “I just didn’t want to be a programmed voice on a computer. Now it sounds really good. I know it’s me.”

The voice was developed in Edinburgh at a centre funded by Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

Dr Phillipa Rewaj, a speech and language therapist at the Anne Rowling Clinic, said: "Your voice is identifiable to other people as your face is. It's very unique to you.
