This Book Doubles as a Tool to Preserve the Voices of People With Motor Neuron Disease

Dell and Intel's project uses voice banking technology to explain and humanize the condition

A devastating aspect of motor neuron disease (MND)—a neurodegenerative condition that deteriorates muscular nerve cells—is that it can take away the ability to speak. To help those living with MND maintain their personal expression, Dell Technologies and Intel, in partnership with the U.K.-based Motor Neurone Disease Association and Rolls-Royce, created a first-of-its-kind book that banks people’s voices as they read aloud. 

The book, titled I Will Always Be Me, is an interactive online experience that uses voice banking technology to create a digital version of the reader’s voice.
