A transcervical artificial larynx is a battery-powered speech-assistive device designed for individuals who have undergone a laryngectomy, helping them produce sounds similar to normal vocal cord speech. These devices use a probe placed against the neck or cheek to generate a tone that is then converted into speech through mouth movements.
Such devices are typically regulated as medical devices and may require regulatory approval depending on the jurisdiction. They are supplied as externally-applied electromechanical devices that assist in speech reproduction without being implanted or surgically integrated.
