iPhones will soon speak with your voice after just 15 minutes of practice: what that means
Apple has followed a fair policy of accessibility features for all iPhone users for years, but now it plans to take that strategy to a whole new level. What if we tell you that iPhones will soon speak with your voice, even after just 15 minutes of practice?
This useful tool can help people with special disabilities receive phone calls. Apple calls it Personal Voice, where the user can read text into the iPhone and record their voice, which the device then uses for training.
So the next time a person receives a call, another Live Speech function uses a trained voice and reads a text prompt to the caller, including all FaceTime calls. Apple says the feature will roll out later this year. The company assures that all voice training is done on the device, which means all their data is private and secure.
Voice Replication, or Personal Voice, sounds like an interesting tool for people with disabilities, and just like Apple’s other accessibility products, this is sure to appeal to many iPhone users in the US and other markets, for example. Apple has been a strong supporter of accessibility features for years, and the new addition could make it even more useful for iPhone users who require special skills.
Apple continues to build new use cases that bring the company to everyone’s attention. Last year, Apple introduced satellite communications for the iPhone, which allows people to send messages or make calls if they’re stuck in a remote area without a cellular network.
Apple isn’t the first company to introduce the technology, but as we’ve seen before, the iPhone maker has a cascading effect on other product launches in the industry. We hope these features will eventually come to Android users as well.
