First is using our Message Banking(TM) model to create novel voice with Acapela MOV (double dipping). After creating this voice where the voice bank is CLEARER than the original dysarthric banked speech... I am cautiously optimistic that we can continue to learn how to help many more people with ALS to preserve their voice.

Second is showing someone’s message bank (that was fully downloaded and pages auto created from our free to anyone mymessagebanking.com site) and double dipped voice bank, co-existing seamlessly and being stored on the SAME page and speaking together.  We have done this double dip for many people now with multiple using message and voice bank fully integrated in their SGD.

Hope this helps others.
