New app gives throat cancer patients their voice back


Gular, who lost his larynx and his voice, speaks in his own voice via a mobile phone using the special app to type in what he wants to say, during an interview.

Vlastimil Gular’s life took an unwelcome turn a year ago: minor surgery on his vocal cords revealed throat cancer, which led to the loss of his larynx and with it, his voice.

But the 51-year-old father of four is still chatting away using his own voice rather than the tinny timbre of a robot, thanks to an innovative app developed by two Czech universities.
