Banking First Words

"Voice Banking" is a term that most people don't know. These days, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was some sort of app for a smartphone that allowed you to conduct transactions using your voice. Come to think of it, that technology probably exists.

In the realm of ALS, it refers to the act of recording yourself saying specific words. The main reason for voice banking is to give you a synthetic voice when ALS robs you of your real voice.

Here's my question: What would be the first 10 words you would record?

  1. In memory of @ithinkstrong, I would say "nice ass"

  2. The sentimental part of me would record, "I love you." The practical part of me would record, "Hungry, thirsty, horny..." The good home-training part of me would record, "Please" and "thank you." One word left, hmmm, it would probably be an expletive.

  3. I know it's not 10 words, but mine would have to be: "These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

    Ok, 13, but I know that they will be the most important words my family will want to hear as they help me with my fight against ALS.
