Parkinson's progresses unpredictably. Voice changes — softer volume, monotone, occasional slurring — often appear in moderate stages. Capturing voice while it's strong creates a permanent record your descendants can hear, even after the disease progresses. Heirloom's voice preservation works best when started early. Family Council captures every voice so the whole family is preserved together.
Frequently Asked Questions
How early should we start?
At any stage of diagnosis, but voice preservation is most powerful in the first 1-3 years post-diagnosis.
Can sessions adapt to fatigue or 'off' periods?
Yes — pace is fully controlled by the storyteller. Sessions can be 10 minutes or 60 minutes.
Tremor affects holding a phone — alternatives?
Heirloom works on iPad with hands-free voice activation, or via phone call where we call them. No need to hold a device.
Voice clone if speech becomes hard to understand later?
Voice clone is generated from early recordings, when speech is clear. Quality of the clone is locked in by early capture.
