Record your voice

If you have MND, live in Scotland and want to preserve your voice for the future, MND Scotland will cover the cost of you using the SpeakUnique service.

Based at Edinburgh University, SpeakUnique uses voice banking technology that allows people to communicate in their own voice via a speech aid when natural speech is no longer possible.

If you’re already experiencing speech difficulties, the service can also partially repair your voice as it records it. This means if you start to use a communication aid in the future, it will sound more like your normal voice.

If you’ve already lost your speech entirely, SpeakUnique can also create a bespoke voice for you to use from its large bank of voices. These include voices with Scottish regional accents.

For more information about the SpeakUnique service, please contact our team on 0141 332 3903 or info@mndscotland.org.uk or visit the SpeakUnique website, where you can register and apply to access the service. When asked to pay, there is a drop-down which allows you to put MND Scotland as your funder.
