Personal Voice

A technology that creates a synthetic replica of a person's voice from recorded speech samples, enabling text-to-speech output that sounds like the individual rather than a generic electronic voice. Apple's Personal Voice feature (iOS 17+) allows users to train an AI model of their voice for use in Live Speech and third-party apps. For people with progressive speech conditions or those who have experienced voice changes due to stroke or other disabilities, personal voice technology preserves communicative identity and can reduce the stigma associated with robotic-sounding AAC devices.
