We want to personally thank an internet friend, Steve (aka IceCowboy), for his help in finding a special program called Soundforge, which was used to create the voice recordings of Zachary below.

Thank you Steve, for this special opportunity!

Before you listen to Zachary's voice recordings below, you may want to press the stop button on the background music player, if it is still on; to hear these more clearly. The controls are located at the end of the buttons section on the left.

Many people have asked to hear Zachary's voice and listen to him talk. Below are a few examples of what he says. Zachary does not always talk on command, but he does use his words and phrases in context. He says "hello" when he sees me or when others approach him, "tickle tickle" when we wiggle a finger towards him, sings along when we do, or when we start a song; laugh when we laugh and sometimes on his own, hum a song whenever he feels like it, and anytime I say "Zachary, I'll be back soon..." he will say "bye bye". The recordings below are taped at many different times, so there will be a variance in background noises and taping quality with each. They are however, unedited and taped during the times when we know he will say the appropriate words and sentences.

The recordings below are in the real audio format for quicker download.
