Fighting Back With Technology: Let's Build A Voice Together

Today's featured guest is Kota Teratani.  Kota is a developer from Kobe, Japan. After developing an adult-onset speech disorder at his first job, he spent years navigating conflicting diagnoses and medical treatments. In mid-2024, he taught himself to code using AI and built Vocal Proxy — an app that helps people with speech difficulties communicate with confidence. He thinks it's not about escaping communication, but about having options.  I truly believe that there is healing in sharing, and I want to thank Kota for sharing his story with me today.
