Challenge Grant: Development of an Alternative Communication Tool Using Lipreading Techniques for Laryngectomy Patients

The objective for 2026 is to create a prototype device by integrating the lip-reading technology developed in the previous year with actual artificial speech. Despite its limited application, the device will be utilised by patients who have undergone total laryngectomy to assess its convenience and identify any potential issues. The device will undergo modification to enhance its functionality and address issues that have been identified.
