New Apple feature will be trainable to speak in your voice

• They can use that synthesized voice to connect with loved ones, per Apple.
• The features are slated to be launched later this year on iPhones, iPads and Macs.

How it works: For Personal Voice, users will read along with a randomized set of text prompts to record 15 minutes of audio.

• The speech accessibility feature will use on-device machine learning to create a voice that sounds like the user.

Meanwhile, another new featured called "Live Speech" will allow nonspeaking users to type to speak during calls and conversations.

• For users who are blind or have low vision, a new detection mode in Magnifier will offer "Point and Speak," which will allow them to point toward text that it will read it out loud.

What they're saying: "These groundbreaking features were designed with feedback from members of disability communities every step of the way, to support a diverse set of users and help people connect in new ways," said Sarah Herrlinger, Apple’s senior director of global accessibility policy and initiatives.
