Professor Stephen Hawking communicates using a speech synthesizer, powered by a computer program he operates with a switch. The program, called the Equalizer, selects from a list of several thousand words, phrases and letters, through which he can generate about 15 words a minute. Initially the switch was operated by hand, but after losing strength now uses a sensor which detects intentional twitches in his cheek muscle. (Eventually it may need to be adapted to use eye motions.)
