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

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.   IJLCD (Wiley link): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1460-6984.12588For RCSLT members, access this paper by navigating to the IJLCD website from our A-Z journals list here.
