After a stroke, communication may be temporarily or permanently changed. Heirloom adapts: family members can co-narrate, photos and prompts can replace open-ended questions, and pre-stroke voicemails or videos can become the basis for voice preservation. Speech therapists recommend Heirloom as part of cognitive rehabilitation, since recalling life stories supports memory recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone with aphasia use this?
Yes — adapted interviews use yes/no prompts, photo-anchored questions, and family co-narration. Members fully control pace.
Voice clone if speech is affected post-stroke?
We use pre-stroke recordings (voicemails, family videos) to create voice clones. Post-stroke voice is captured and preserved separately.
Is this covered by speech therapy programs?
Some speech therapists incorporate memoir capture as part of cognitive recovery. We provide tools; they direct usage.
How long are sessions?
10-15 min, paced by the storyteller. Family member can be present to support.
