Wonderful Journey of Tung Tung
With the help of our Vocofy Cantonese speech artificial intelligence team, Tung Tung is the youngest among all the people who have left a voice line.
She had most of her tongue removed in 2017 due to tongue cancer. Unfortunately, the tumor was discovered five years later and the entire vocal cords needed to be removed.
The tumor pressed the nerve cord, and even morphine couldn’t relieve Tung Tung’s pain. But Tung Tung still bravely faced the pain and recorded hours of voice before the operation, which gave our Cantonese artificial intelligence team the opportunity to use Vocofy 🌟technology to assist Tung Tung to preserve her voice. 🌟
A few months after the operation, Tung Tung has regained her life, and before Christmas in 2022, through the Vocofy artificial intelligence program, she used her own voice to make a sharing in her church called “Bright. Bright Wonderful Journey” . We also participated
What we admire most in the sharing is that it turned out that 🌟Tung Tung🌟 not only did not get discouraged after the operation in 2017, but instead 🌟 helped 🌟 set up a cancer care group called “Joy Group” in a non-profit organization to serve others Care and assistance for cancer patients. No wonder so many people around Tung Tung support and care about her today.
Applied to patients with cerebellar atrophy
Most of the pathogenic causes are autodominant inheritance, and a few are gene mutations. Generally, patients develop the disease in adulthood, and the age of onset is mostly from 20 to 40 years old.
Recently, Vocofy contacted some patients with cerebellar atrophy in Hong Kong, and started to produce artificial intelligence, and applied Vocofy to patients with cerebellar atrophy.
Currently, Vocofy is starting to record voices for patients with cerebellar atrophy and train Vocofy artificial intelligence models. Many patients told the Vocofy team that the communication barrier made them feel discouraged.
The other party can’t hear clearly, the more impatient they are to say the sentence, however, the more impatient they are, the more difficult it is to control their speech, and they become more inarticulate.
Therefore, Vocofy is using the Text-to-Speech technology developed by itself to apply Vocofy to patients with cerebellar atrophy to reduce the inconvenience in life.
