TEAM GLEASON to fund Critical Voice Banking for pALS through ModelTalker

Team Gleason to fund Critical Voice Banking for pALS through ModelTalker

 

This technology will allow those living with ALS to continue

using their own voice to communicate

New Orleans, LA

​

- January 31, 2018 - Team Gleason is excited to announce that all people living with ALS in the United States who would like to “bank”their voice to use after they have lost the ability to speak can do so at no cost to them through a partnership with ModelTalker starting tomorrow.

 

Steve Gleason had the opportunity to create his own synthetic voice through the process of voice banking when he was first diagnosed with ALS in 2011. Steve’s motto was and has

always been that “until there is a medical cure for ALS, I believe technology can act as a cure.”

Steve believes that with the availability of the correct technology, equipment, and sense of purpose, it is possible for ALS patients to live for decades.
