[166 MM Barchetta]

This was sent to me by a fellow Yorkshireman, genuinely made me smile in amongst all the bad news at the moment.

I think its brilliant, and also something I’d never really considered, it’s interesting about how the lad felt his identity wasn’t right due to the computer.
Hopefully it might start something for others who feel their accent is important as a part of them?

I found that quite emotional. There's something really special about giving someone your voice that I've never though of before. Really nice news.

[durbster]

That is awesome.

[snotrag]

Brill, wholesome story that. He's not far from me and sounds 'right' now.

People, and science, are amazing.

[geeks]

That's just fking cool!

[ShoooRn]

Honestly fantastic work from all involved, when we put our brilliant minds to work we really can achieve so much. So glad he is happy; cheers for this story.

Oof, bit dusty in here. Thanks for posting that, OP, I would have missed it otherwise I think.
We usually get stories about how horrible people are to each other; it's lovely to get the opposite for a change.

Och that's brilliant, great stuff, sniff.

I think Stephen Hawking was asked if he wanted his 'voice' upgrading as the tech developed but he kept it as 'it had become his voice'.
