TED<\/a> have posted the video of Roger Ebert’s talk from March<\/a>, where the film critic<\/a> describes the attempts to remake his voice.<\/p>\n

After losing his lower jaw (and nearly his life<\/a>) to cancer in 2006, he also lost the ability to speak but has since managed to communicate with readers online and even had a Scottish company digitally reconstruct his voice<\/a> from hours of his television shows.<\/p>\n

With the help of the voice program on his Mac, his wife Chaz and friends Dean Ornish and John Hunter, Ebert presents a powerful story, but also makes some profound points about the impact of technology and the Internet.<\/p>\n
