FAQ About Stephen Hawking
How did Stephen Hawking communicate after losing his ability to speak?
After losing his ability to speak due to ALS, Stephen Hawking communicated using a speech-generating device. Initially, he used handheld devices to select words, but eventually transitioned to using a custom-made computer system controlled by a small sensor activated by the movement of his cheek. This allowed him to select words and phrases, which the device then vocalized for him.
