Della Larsen records her voice to create memories for her family

Della Larsen, diagnosed with ALS in April 2023, embarked on a heartfelt mission to preserve her voice for her future grandchildren, whom she might never meet, by recording herself reading 30 children's books using voice banking technology. Each book is now accompanied by a QR code that links to a private recording, allowing her family to listen to her as if she were present. Beyond her personal efforts, Della shares her journey with ALS on social media, offering hope to others facing similar challenges. Her courage and dedication were recognized by the ALS Therapy Development Institute, which awarded her the Mary Lou Krauseneck Courage & Love Award. Della's acceptance speech utilized voice AI technology, supported by Bridging Voice and The Scott Morgan Foundation, highlighting the role of ElevenLabs in enhancing communication for those with speech impairments.
