We are excited to offer people living with MND access to the innovative new AI-developed voice banking/synthetic voice creation service from ElevenLabs. You can now access a voucher from FlexEquip to cover the cost of this service.
People with MND may experience breathlessness, hoarseness, a weak voice or decreased volume. Some people will experience muscle weakness around the face, throat and tongue, which can cause changes to the way a person’s speech sounds (dysarthric), while others may no longer be able to communicate verbally (anarthric).
ElevenLabs is a way for people to save a synthetic version of their own voice to use with a communication device.
