I Will Always Be Me – Voice banking technology created for people living with MND and their loved ones

Dell Technologies and Intel in partnership with the MND Association and Rolls-Royce presents: I Will Always Be Me

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a terminal illness. But before it takes your life, it takes your voice.
Voice banking can help those with MND create a digital copy of their voice, so they can continue sounding like themselves even after losing the ability to speak.
Unfortunately, only 12% of those with MND have used this technology because they find the process complicated and impersonal.

“We worked with best-selling author Jill Twiss and Illustrator Nicolas Stevenson to create a story that people with MND can read to their loved ones to share what they are going through.
As they read, the system seamlessly banks their voice. The story contains all the syllables needed to create an accurate copy of their voice.”

The work was created in partnership with the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Rolls-Royce. People can read the book to bank their voice on iwillalwaysbeme.com.

More than 72% of recently diagnosed with MND are now using I Will Always Be Me to bank their voice.
