"Keeping My Own Voice” - The Impact of Voice Banking and Assistive Tech with Steve and Jane
Jane is a priest, poet and creative artist who has multiple sclerosis (MS). We speak to her about how technology will empower her life: despite losing the power of speech, she can store her voice digitally – a process known as voice banking. So Jane will still be able to say what she wants in her words.
We also speak to Steve Tyler, Director of Assistive Technology and Transformation at Leonard Cheshire, who previously worked on the voice for Alexa. Steve tells us about how technology can open up opportunities for disabled people like Jane, and many others.
