Lawmaker Gives Speech Using Text-to-Speech App

“Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA) stepped to the microphone on the House floor Monday to speak about one of her latest pieces of legislation, as she has done many times before during her five years in Congress,” the Washington Post reports.

“But the voice that gave the speech wasn’t hers — it was from a text-to-voice application, an assistive device she uses to help her navigate a degenerative brain condition with which she was diagnosed last year.”
