I had two relatives die from ALS.
When my grandfather lost his ability to speak, it was frustrating for him because he was such an intelligent, articulate person. Having a disease that renders your voice useless and then having to communicate via a small whiteboard for him was not fun. He couldn't write fast enough and often times felt like a burden because we would all be waiting to see what he wanted to say.
the Live Speech features for people with ALS will be a game changer. It saddens me this wasn't around when my grandfather passed, but am optimistic others who have this horrendous disease can utilize it to continue to communicate with their families even when ALS has taken their voice.
