Some people are born without a voice due to conditions such as autism or cerebral palsy. Some lose their voice due to a progressive condition such as ALS. AAC (short for augmentative and alternative communication) provides a way to gain or reclaim one’s voice. High-tech AAC solutions are evolving quickly to offer different kinds of synthetic voice options. What’s more, these voices can be activated with the touch of a button or even with the gaze of a person’s eyes. Let’s take a look at the voice options available with Tobii Dynavox
