Dear Friends

Dr. Vishal Rao, the inventor of this speaking machine enables all cancer patients whose voice box (or Larynx) has been removed to speak again.

This groundbreaking news deserves your support.

You can spread it and bring happiness to many disabled-to-speak persons living anywhere in the world.

Your friends may have friends who may be in need of this voice machine or speaking box.

Even if one person gets back his voice through your support, your mind gets as much thrill as the beneficiary.

You can help as many people as you desire in getting back their lost glory and, start enjoying happiness.

No relative of mine but I feel it is my duty to talk about the inventor.

The inventor of the voice-machine is Dr. Vishal Rao, an oncologist and head & neck surgeon at the HealthCare Global (HCG) Cancer Center in Bangalore. India

He has developed a voice prosthesis, a medical device that enables a patient - whose voice box has been surgically removed from his throat due to cancer or any other problem - to speak as also eat properly.

The device has been named as ‘Aum’, a word in Hindi, It weighs only 25 grams.

Dr. Vishal Rao believes speech should not be a privilege of the rich only and offers every voice-less needy person to use his machine to express himself, speak clearly and properly once again, like in the good old times.

This invention is connected to a box of tampons, a combination of ancient craft of wooden toy-making and high-tech yet simple science

Recalling how it all began, Dr.Rao says "I found a different kind of speech while attending a function at the National Institute of Technology in Suratkal near Bangalore.

I (the writer of this article) overheard that Dr Rao helps those who had the misfortune of losing their voice due to throat cancer to speak again.

The voice prosthetic device, developed by Dr Rao and his team, is inserted in the throat through a surgical process.

It functions as a substitute and replaces the voice box that God had fitted in our throat.

Once the God fitted natural voice box (called larynx) is removed, the patient has no alternative but to live with the world of silence.

The small device makes sure the voice that comes out of our mouth makes meaningful sound.

Before Dr. Rao patented his device, there were (and still are) many other devices that also mimicked the human voice.

These cost anything from 400 to 2000 US Dollars.

Instead, the Aum speaking box is priced at less than a dollar.

The patient need not have to visit operation room again.

How this device tricks the brain into using the food-pipe as the voice box is truly fascinating.

I request you, as a reader to witness the thrill of a person who has got his speaking power back.

Sharing this news will raise your esteem in your own eyes.

Your support is desired to spread the news.

Your friend,
