Adele using app to speak
Adele has been using a special phone application to help her speak.
The British singer underwent surgery on her throat a few weeks ago and has been told to rest her voice by doctors.
She loves talking to friends though, so has come up with a novel way to ensure she is still heard. Adele has downloaded a special application on her phone which says anything she types in out loud.
She's been using the speaking app to buy coffee at Starbucks and to order cabs, a source explained to British newspaper The Sun.
It is far easier to communicate using it rather than writing everything down on paper and showing people.
Adele had a vocal cord haemorrhage which was operated on in Boston, America, in early November. She is still in the city as she recuperates, but has assured fans the surgery was a success.
I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever, the star explained.
The 23-year-old singer has previously been forced to cancel shows due to her illness.
It was recently reported she will return to the stage next month on British talent programme The X Factor, where she will apparently sing with one of the finalists.
