Apple gears up to introduce a new feature via iOS 17 that will not only act as your assistant, but will be able to clone your voice in 15 minutes.
will sound exactly like you when a new feature called Personal Voice is set up and enabled. Something straight out of a sci-fi novel, right? It only takes personal voice 15 minutes to clone your voice – quicker than it takes to whip up a good grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup.
Once your voice is securely stored on your device, it can be used with another new feature called Live Speech. In essence, you, a family member or friend could be on a phone or FaceTime call typing to say something using Live Speech which takes typed text and converts it in real-time to your own cloned voice. Instead of reading what you are typing, Live Speech would speak in your own synthetic voice to someone on the receiving end.
For some people, especially those with speech difficulties, or people diagnosed with ALS who may one day be challenged with losing their voice, being able to speak by typing and hearing their familiar voice could bring comfort and ease that a generic voice or deciphering text just couldn't match.Let's face it though, this could be a bit unnerving for the rest of us at first. Imagine hearing your voice, clear and crisp , echoing from your phone.
Yet, like it or not, we are diving headfirst into this high-tech era where our devices aren't just smart; they're turning into our digital doppelgängers. They know our habits, our favorite songs, our preferred restaurants, and now, they're starting to sound like us. It's safe to say our smartphones may one day know us better than we know ourselves - for better or worse.Apple to roll out Personal Voice feature with iOS 17.
