ILJCD: Voice banking for people living with motor neurone disease: Views and expectations

RCSLT - Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists

In this IJLCD episode, we talk to Richard Cave, who works with the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND), about an article he’s written on voice banking. Voice banking is a process in which people who suffer from MND or other conditions are given the opportunity to record their own synthetic voices for use with an AAC device in the future.
