Apple Inc. is set to introduce an exciting new feature in their upcoming iOS 17 release. Interestingly, iPhone users will now have the ability to create a personalized speech assistant that closely mimics their own voice.
This highly anticipated feature was announced by prominent tech influencer, Marques Brownlee, who took to Twitter to share the news. According to Brownlee, the process of creating a customized voice for the speech assistant will be remarkably quick, taking only 15 minutes to complete. This development brings a new level of personalization and immersion to the iPhone user experience.
To use this feature, iPhone users can access it by navigating to the Accessibility settings of the newly launched iOS 17. Within the Speech section of the settings, a distinct option titled “Personal Voice” will be available for selection.
According to Brownlee, this innovative feature uses recordings of the user’s own voice to generate a synthesized voice that closely matches their unique vocal characteristics. To accomplish this, users will be guided through a step-by-step process that involves reading out loud a series of text prompts for approximately 15 minutes while utilizing the device’s microphone.
The device then processes this data overnight, and the user wakes up the next day with a new personalized voice that can be used for typing to speak.
