Bolton man with motor neurone disease ‘banks’ his voice
A man from Bolton who has motor neurone disease (MND) is recording his words so his baby son will be able to hear his voice.
Laurence Brewer was diagnosed with MND – a progressive condition that damages the nervous system – in 2008.
Mr Brewer, 43, has already lost much of his mobility. Concerned that his speech could be next, he went online and discovered a speech synthesis programme called ModelTalker which allows him to record his speech patterns
The driving force behind it is Mr Brewer’s 13-month-old son, Stan.
