Kitchen table talk: a two-voice audio episode

Two-voice audio episode, English and Spanish. For Tomás, 68, newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and his granddaughter (illustrative).
Opens in a new tab. A concept demo, not medical advice.
What it shows
- Two voices and a family story instead of a pamphlet
- English and Spanish, written for meaning rather than word for word
- Chapters, a transcript and a one-minute version
- The grandfather restates three key points at the end

How HealthLiteracyCopilot would build it
- A two-host script from approved clinical source content, at a grade 5–6 level in each language
- Voiced with disclosed synthetic voices, or recorded by community voices from the same script
- Checked with PEMAT-A/V, the CDC Clear Communication Index and speech-rate checks
- Simulated listeners (simulated participants, not patients) find confusing terms for human review
Draws on: Create · Translate · Persona testing
Why the techniques work
Findings about the techniques, not results of this concept or of HealthLiteracyCopilot.
Techniques
- Listening removes the reading barrier
- Narrative and modeling
- Teach-back modeled in the story
Behavior change techniques
- Graded tasks
- Social support (practical)
- Action planning
In an experiment with adults 55 and older, spoken messages improved recall over written ones among people with low health literacy.
Guardrails
- Synthetic voices are always disclosed
- The voice-note version carries no personal health information
- Each language version is reviewed
- Every output has a complete text and print fallback
Questions
Is this something HealthLiteracyCopilot does today?
Not as shown here. HealthLiteracyCopilot reviews written health content for plain language and accessibility today. These concept demos show where it is going: the same review discipline carried into interactive, audio, video and voice formats. Organizations can help shape it as design partners.
Would the voices be real people?
Either. The concept uses disclosed synthetic voices, and the same reviewed script could be recorded by real community voices. Synthetic voices are never presented as real people.
