ALS patient Della Larsen is preserving her voice and connecting with family through **AI voice banking** technology.
Details
Della Larsen, who was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), used Voice Banking technology to communicate with her future grandchildren before losing her ability to speak. She personally read and recorded 30 children's books, attaching a QR code to each book so her grandchildren could hear her voice.
Recently, the ALS Therapy Development Institute recognized her courage by presenting her with the Mary Lou Krauseneck Courage & Love Award.
When delivering her acceptance speech, Larsen conveyed her message in her own voice through a device equipped with ElevenLabs' Voice AI technology. This device was installed with support from Bridging Voice and The Scott Morgan Foundation.
