To help him breathe, they also performed a tracheotomy, which involved cutting a hole in his neck and placing a tube into his windpipe. Hawking was flown to Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, where the doctors managed to contain the infection. The doctors asked Hawking's then-wife, Jane, whether they should turn off the life support. In the hospital, he was put on a ventilator. Hawking lost his ability to speak in 1985, when, on a trip to CERN in Geneva, he caught pneumonia. Intel has been providing Hawking with customized PCs and technical support since then, replacing his computer every two years. Moore noticed that Hawking's computer, which he used to communicate, had an AMD processor and asked him if he preferred instead a "real computer" with an Intel micro-processor.

With their help, it becomes possible to obtain a broad spectrum of speech characteristics ranging from low-level features relating to physical construction of the vocal tract to advanced ones concerning various ways of expressing oneself and articulation, acquired during socialization process. Hence, a wide-ranging approach to the identification process is used, including both subjective and objective methods. Delivering a categorical opinion is often difficult due to insufficient quality of the recorded material, simulation or modulation of speaker’s voice. Speaker identification is deemed to be one of the basic tasks in audio forensics.
