CoeFont Corporation Limited is providing the CoeFont AI voice platform (https://coefont.cloud/) free to individuals who may lose their speech due to the progression of ALS symptoms. By recording their voices on the platform, CoeFont is able to replicate their unique vocal characteristics allowing users to continue communicating with their distinctive tone and accent after losing their natural speech. Users can easily input text on their computer or mobile device to communicate with their unique AI voice. Unlike conventional services that connect one character at a time to create a sound, CoeFont uses AI to generate a voice that sounds as if the user themselves were speaking, giving the user the feeling of having a regular conversation.

CoeFont started providing free services to patients undergoing laryngectomies in September 2021. Since then, the platform has received an overwhelming response from patients and their families. In the past, creating a synthesized voice required ¥500,000 and more than 10 hours of recording. By incorporating their proprietary algorithms into AI, CoeFont was able to generate natural-sounding AI voices for ¥500 (less than $4) in as little as 15 minutes. The company’s mission is to continue utilizing its cutting-edge technology to address problems that impact society.
