Personal Voice: AI Voice Cloning for ALS and Speech Loss on iPhone

Personal Voice generates a synthetic version of your voice for users facing progressive speech loss from ALS, throat cancer, MS, or other conditions affecting verbal communication. Records 150 randomized text prompts in approximately 15 minutes. On-device machine learning creates the voice model—no cloud processing. Takes several hours to generate but happens locally on your iPhone. Integrates directly with Live Speech for phone calls, FaceTime, and in-person conversations. Saved phrases spoken in your generated voice maintain natural communication with family and caregivers.

Personal Voice

Requires iOS 17 or later. Available on iPhone 12 and newer with A12 Bionic chip minimum. Critical for ALS patients to preserve voice before bulbar onset. Also valuable for laryngectomy patients or anyone anticipating voice loss.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
