- Universal Voice of Choice — a future communication ecosystem allowing a non-speaking person to communicate naturally through whichever method works best for them: text, sign language, eye gaze, gesture, synthesized speech, silent-speech signals or potentially brain–computer interfaces.
Important note: “cannot speak” can have many causes, and a person may communicate effectively through sign language, writing, AAC, gestures, or other methods. The goal of innovation should be to expand the person’s choice, autonomy and ability to communicate, rather than assuming that everyone needs a conventional spoken voice. Some neural and silent-speech technologies above remain experimental.
