Much win. What's Shizune gonna have, an artificial voicebox? Might be difficult to show that. I s'pose you could do a Malak-ish replacement of her entire lower jaw and a good portion of her throat.
Where are her Prussian blue-striped panties, then?
Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stopped, the story will not end.
Whether it's a comedy or a tragedy, if there is cheering, the story will continue on.
Just like the many lives.
For the us who are still in it and still in the journey, send warm blessings.

Dunno about you, but it's not like I ever need to look at anything to type anyway...
Anywho, text-to-voice seems a bit unnecessary: if she's gonna be typing anyway, might as well just show it on an LCD or something rather than speak it.
I notice we're all dancing around the Stephen Hawking option, though. <_<
As far as an actual voice-box implant, I don't think that's feasible from a technical point of view, the human voice isn't something that's as simple-to-control as a the muscles in an arm.
What would be cool is if Shizune could type in the air as if on a keyboard (probably with some kind of glove with a single wire down each finger that figures out what key is being 'typed') and then displays holographic text above her//in front of her. Mecha enough?
Bionic eyes are being developed along with robotic limbs, that stuff is pretty real.
Not so sure about Hanako. Maybe she would be part-metal, ala Ed from FMA, Kimiko from Dresden Codak (half her body ended up being vaporized with a lazor so she has a bionic eye/arm/leg), the terminator....?
You guys are doing it wrong. Why waste such hi-tech on such mundane things, heres how I see it:
Rin - Robotic Arms - Super Strenght - kicking major ass.
Shizune - Sound Amp/Synth - Supic Sonic Blasts - shattering glass and bad guys' ears.
Emi - Heli-Legs (ala Strike Witches) - Flight - the ulitmate form of freedom, give her a gun ans she is good to go.
Hanako - Powered Armer - Invulnerability - nothing can burn/hurt her ever again, also no need to be shy when your entire body is covered in steal, no one can see you.
Lily - Bionic Eyes - Telescopic/Heat Vision - she can snipe just by looking at you from 200 yards away.
