The tone of the voice box is controlled by the amount of pressure put on the button - the button she presses with her thumb.

Donna hi! i see you are trying the new larynx! so keep praticing! you will get the hang of it girlfrind!

[@UCSPanther20]

The older ones sound like and electric razor, and the new ones sort of sound like a computer speech generator program (IE textaloud).

Hi donna!

I got to this video by reading the phonetics for dummies book

So you have to remove your vocal cords in order to use that thing?

[@june4135]

Shubin Alam nope, just mouth the words

[@nathanjoerndt8804]

@@june4135 WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes you do have to have your voice box removed to use that thing!!! and that thing is called a servox artificial larynx it is for laryngectomees who have had their vocal cords removed and have an opening in their neck called a stoma the person orders the artificial larynx online and the person who has lost their voice put the unit up to their neck and the person presses a button and sends vibration in them so that they can speak it almost sounds robotic :( but the trutone artificial larynx does give intonation to the voice .

The new ones remind me of Speakonia.

[@natedog2004]

i got a question what did she mean when she said it's the thumb that needs education ?

[@JaxenRossisback]

She just needs to practice the way she pushes the button.
