This handout image released by Smartbox Assistive Technology shows Sarah Ezekiel and her Son Eric at their home in Hendon, north London on August 16, 2025. Sarah was left without the use of her voice after she was diagnosed with motor neurone disease while pregnant with her second child 25 years ago. Now she is once again speaking in her own voice thanks to UK medical communication company Smartbox who worked with AI audio experts ElevenLabs to recreate Ezekiel’s voice from a barely audible eight-second old home video clip.
