I'm afraid I come from the opposite situation of never having a voice at all. But people are patient when it comes to reading writing.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer any way to work around writing. I could teach you sign language, but that would take quite some time and not too many people here know it. There are devices that can read text - my cellphone and laptop do both - but you would still have to type and they aren't readily available.
[There's a small pause. If there's a shift in affect, Ginia doubts there's a way around it. But at the same time, maybe an analogue to a cellphone could be made.]
A man named Helios once made a necklace that allowed me to speak. He's still in the village, perhaps he could create something for you that would make conversing easier.
