Scientists have made a new device to help people speak. A woman who couldn't talk for 18 years can now speak again. The device was put in her brain during an operation.
The device changes her thoughts into words. It works very fast, almost like normal talking. The woman's own voice is used to make the sounds.
This new technology could help many people who can't speak. Scientists hope it will be ready for more people to use in about ten years.
