Abstract

This study arises from the collaboration between MIVOQ, the ALS association CRESLA, and CNR, and it is still in an early preparatory and development phase. The aim of this experimental study is that of verifying the impact on the quality of life of patients and of his family members who use a speech synthesizer able to replicate the vocal timbre of the user’s voice. The specific objectives of this work include understanding how “Your Digital Voice” is suitable and useful for ALS patients.
