Ai sound recording of an obituary

We would like to inform you that we use artificial intelligence technology to record the obituaries on our website. We understand that this is a sensitive time for everyone who visits our website, so we have chosen this solution with the utmost care and respect for your feelings.

AI readers allow the reading of obituaries to be carried out in a steady and respectful manner without the need for a live reader. Although technology cannot replace human warmth and compassion, we believe that the use of artificial intelligence will enable the message of what we read to be of appropriate value.

If you have any questions or concerns about using AI to read obituaries, please contact us. Your opinion is important to us, and we are happy to listen to your feedback.

What can you expect?

  • Consistency: artificial intelligence ensures consistent reading performance without fluctuations in tone or pronunciation, resulting in a uniform experience for website visitors.
  • Accessibility: the AI-assisted audio allows access to information in audio for those who may not be able to read the text, such as blind or visually impaired users.
  • Limited intonation and expressiveness: despite advances in voice synthesis technology, AI readers still have limited intonation and expressiveness, which can affect the experience of reading and listening to an obituary.
  • Potential for errors and inaccuracies: like all automated systems, AI readers are not perfect and errors can occur in pronunciation of words or interpretation of text, particularly in the accentuation of certain words.

The audio recording makes the information accessible to people with disabilities, such as blind or partially sighted individuals, making it equally accessible to all users of the website. In addition, tone can contribute to greater diversity and engagement online and improve the overall user experience.
