Use Your Own Personal Voice
If you want to, you can make your iPhone sound a bit more like you when you’re using Live Speech. This is thanks to a new iOS 17 feature called Personal Voice.
Granted, it’ll sound like a robotic version of you, but using Personal Voice is the perfect way to add an extra layer of personalization to your iPhone.
Here’s how to set up Personal Voice:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Accessibility.
- Scroll down one more time and select Personal Voice.
- Tap on Create a Personal Voice.
- Enter your passcode if needed.
- Tap on Continue.
- Enter your voice’s name and select Continue.
- Check your sound quality by repeating the phrase on your iPhone.
Afterward, you’ll need to repeat a total of 150 different phrases on your iPhone. It’s going to take a few minutes to set it up and a day or two for your iPhone to finish creating your Personal Voice.
But once it’s done, you’ll be able to select your own voice to use with Live Speech or with other apps like FaceTime.
