"Roger Ebert has granted Esquire an interview despite losing his voice to jaw surgery four years ago. According to People, the movie critic solves his speech dilemma with text-to-speech software and pen and ink, just as many people with similar disabilities do. The Chicago Sun-Times reviewer lost his voice permanently after undergoing a tracheotomy to restore air to his windpipe following a series of mandible surgeries. The procedures began in 2002 to remove a malignant thyroid, then his salivary glands in 2003 and his jaw in 2006. &amp;quot;What else can go wrong?&amp;quot; he jokingly wondered. Ebert, whose face has been contorted by all the surgery, shook his head &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; when asked whether a procedure to help him talk again is a possibility.
