Talk To Me Technologies

Don has been part of the TTMT family since he received his Grid Pad 13 Vida last fall. Recently, he shared something special with his team at work: his experience finding his voice again.

In his story, he talks about the moment he heard his own voice through his Eleven Labs recording. He said it brought back familiarity, recognition and a sense of self he thought he had lost. Friends and family were not just hearing words. They were hearing him.
