Voice Preservation Beyond Recording: Creating and Using My Preserved Voice 

Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 12pm CT

Join us for a comprehensive review of current best practices and tools in Message Banking, Voice Banking, and Voice Cloning, including the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in voice preservation. After a diagnosis of a progressive condition that impacts speech, an urgent priority is preserving one's voice.  However, recording your voice is only the first step. Part of the feature matching process is to determine compatibility and integration of one's preserved voice into communication apps and software. We will cover the full process from recording through integration, updates on current technologies, including AI’s role in voice preservation, and treatment recommendations for using one's preserved voice most effectively and efficiently for functional communication. 

The Les Turner ALS Foundation is proud to offer this webinar at no cost to the ALS community. Thank you to the Gilbert & Jacqueline Fern Foundation & Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America for sponsoring this webinar.

Her interest in working with people living with ALS more directly developed in her time there, but her interest in AAC started about 10 years ago.
