A woman living with motor neurone disease has described how emotionally hard it was for her to record a “voice bank”.
Anna Barrow, from Eccles in Greater Manchester, was diagnosed with the incurable disease at the age of 38.
Now 40 and knowing she will eventually lose the physical ability to speak, she has recorded herself saying a wide range of words and phrases.
This will mean that, by using a computer which tracks her eye movements, she will still be able to speak – in her own voice – through a synthesiser.
