About awarded research
Syrinx is an electrolarynx worn around the neck that enables people who have lost their voices to restore the voice.We are conducting research and development while communicating with people who have actually lost their voices and receiving feedback.
Your impression & future plan
We would like to manufacture many prototypes and test them on people around the world who have actually lost their voices, while continuing our research to make the vibration sound closer to the natural speech and publish papers.
