The feature also gives users the ability to save commonly used phrases that can be invoked without having to type them out, making it easier for them to participate in fast-paced conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are at the risk of losing their ability to speak, Apple has created a feature that is not only functional but beautiful in its thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Personal Voice feature allows iPhone and iPad users to create a model of their voice. The feature asks that users read a randomized set of text prompts to record 15 minutes of audio on the device. The device then uses machine learning to use those recording to develop a model of their voice that they can then use to speak with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice.png 1280w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-213x120.png 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-284x160.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-190x107.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-750x421.png 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-548x308.png 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-364x204.png 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-230x129.png 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-213x120@2x.png 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-284x160@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-Personal-voice-190x107@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Illustration: OWC.
