AI being used to turn thoughts into speech

[calebsmum]

My husband is gradually getting ‘locked in’ - a really intelligent man (he was a GP) almost unable to communicate. We banked his speech in 2021 but Predictable is getting harder to use. Apparently they have done a lot of research in Australia turning thoughts into text/speech - does anyone know of research in this country that is happening?

I do feel for you and your husband. It’s one of my biggest fears. My profession has involved talking all day long and it feels like being able to do that fluently is part of my core identity

Is it worth looking into the eye movement voice activation system that some MND sufferers use?

You are not allowed to be assessed for eye gaze unless you have no voice and no hand movement at all!

Goodness. It must be so costly I guess
