Some of these people use voice enabled augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices sometimes called VOCA's. These consist of some form of input interface and generate synthetic speech.

The result is that when a number of users get together it can be difficult to know who is speaking at any one time particularly if there are a number of people using the same voice."
