Think of a friend or loved one. When you do, you can probably imagine them saying certain things a certain way — expressions that only they say. These are known as legacy messages that uniquely express an individual's personality.

Many people with progressive disorders such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) lose their voice as their condition progresses. When that time comes, they use speech-generating devices to communicate their wants and needs. While synthesized voices do a great job of creating speech, they cannot recreate the unique sounds and intonations of the individual.

With the Personify Voice Recording System, people with progressive disorders are able to record their legacy messages while they are still verbal and later use them with their speech generating device. Voice recordings are saved, trimmed, labeled and organized into folders right on the Personify Recorder, where they are also backed up to a cloud server. When needed, our experts will integrate the recordings onto a Forbes AAC speech generating device for access via touch screen, switch scanning, head mouse or eye tracking.
