Speech Innovations that speak volumes.
Personal Voice
Re-create your own voice, so it’s never?lost.
Personal Voice
If you are at risk of voice loss or have a condition that can progressively impact your voice, Personal Voice can help. It’s a simple and secure way to create a voice that sounds like you.1 Read through a series of randomly chosen text prompts to record 15 minutes of audio that can be used to generate a voice that sounds similar to your own.2 If you have difficulty pronouncing or reading full sentences, you can even create your Personal Voice using short, three-word phrases. This feature uses on-device machine learning to keep your information private and secure. And Personal Voice seamlessly integrates with Live Speech, so you can type what you want to say and have your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch speak it aloud in your Personal Voice.

Live Speech
With Live Speech on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, just type what you want to say, and your device will speak it out loud. If you are unable to speak, have a speech disability or prefer to communicate through text, you can use Live Speech to stay connected during Phone and FaceTime calls as well as in-person conversations. You can also save commonly used phrases to help you easily respond during daily interactions and conversations. For example, you can create a Café category to group phrases you frequently use like, “I’d like to order a tea” or “May I have milk and sugar with that?”
