Free AI Voice Clones for People Living with ALS/MND
Voice is closely tied to identity — and losing it is one of the most significant changes people with ALS/MND face.
Through a new partnership with ElevenLabs, anyone living with ALS/MND anywhere in the world can now access a free Pro voice clone license through the ElevenLabs Impact Program. A voice clone is a personalized AI replica of your own voice that can be added to a communication device and used to speak on your behalf. Getting started takes three steps: create your account, record or upload audio of your voice, and add your clone to your communication device.
