Taking all of the scary bad stuff out of the equation if you found yourself not being able to speak or told you'll be losing your voice due to a medical issue I think this could be a very huge live changing setup for you.

I see in the settings screen they are making it so 3rd party apps could use this feature which may be nice if someone comes up with a solid soundboard setup to replace the limiting #FavoritePhrases feature in #LiveSpeech built in #iOS17.

The place where I'm at with this is waiting for #iOS17 #PersonalVoice to finish generating my voice so I can use it with #LiveSpeech for the time being I selected one of the built in voices and tried using that a few different ways. You can make a Facetime call to someone and then enable the Live Speech feature and instead of talking you can type what you want to say and it will say it out loud for the other participants to hear. Voice phone calls as well which could be live changing for folks.

Once completed I can enable #LiveSpeech and select my own voice from the list of Siri voices and now I can triple tap the side button to show an input box where I can type words and it will say them. You can also save favorite phrases which i think would make it very easy for someone who lost their voice to be able to say things like

Hello
Thank You
No Thank You
Yes
No
Repeat what you said

etc. I have a family friend that lose his voice due to throat cancer and this sounds interesting to me.

Started playing with the #iOS17 feature called #PersonalVoice along with the #LiveSpeech feature that when combined can allow someone that may lose their voice and have set this up in time to be able to use text to speech to communcate with their own voice. The process requires you to record about 15 mins of audio using random phrases to generate the voice, websites state it takes about an hour to generate said voice I'm doing this on an iPhone 13 Pro and its been a few hours of processing.
