Apple has some impressive new Accessibility features coming soon called Personal Voice and Live Speech that allow anyone to create and securely store a replica of their voice and use it via text with their iPhone (or iPad). Ahead of the official fall release, the voice banking feature is available with the iOS 17 beta. Here’s how to set up Personal Voice on iPhone.

With Personal Voice, users can save their voice in about an hour when that normally takes weeks, not to mention traditional voice banking is a costly service.
Personal Voice on iPhone has you read a series of random sentences. It needs a total of 15 minutes of you speaking – Apple notes that it may take “around an hour” to complete the whole process.
But the great part is you can do this in chunks, whenever you need to stop, your progress is saved and you can continue when it works.
Personal Voice on iPhone or iPad is a very valuable feature for those with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and other health conditions that can impact the ability to speak.
But even for healthy individuals, it’s useful to set up to preserve your voice for the future – kind of like free voice insurance. Apple highlights Personal Voices are securely stored on iPhone.
Once created, the new Live Speech feature lets users type-to-speak with FaceTime, Phone, and third-party apps that support assistive communication.
How to set up Personal Voice on iPhone with iOS 17
On your iPhone running the iOS 17 beta, open the Settings app
Swipe down and tap Accessibility
Swipe down again, under Speech, choose Personal Voice
Tap Create a Personal Voice
Make sure to follow the prompts like recording in a quiet place, holding your iPhone “about 6 inches from your mouth,” and speaking naturally
Conveniently, you can start the process and stop at any time and come back to finish setting up Personal Voice
If you’re having trouble getting the feature to finish processing, try plugging in your iPhone overnight with a wired cable instead of using wireless charging.
Here’s how it looks to set up Personal Voice on iPhone:
Along with starting the process to create a Personal Voice, you can choose to share it across your Apple devices and enable third-party apps to use Personal Voice.
To start, you name your voice or you can use the default, then you’ll do a sound check.
Once you start recording, the process will automatically move from one phrase to the next.
Tap Done in the top left corner at any time to save your progress and return later. You can also tap the back arrow to return to a previous phrase.
After setting up Personal Voice, you can enable Live Speech under Settings > Accessibility with a triple-click shortcut.

An upcoming Apple headset will be powered by a new operating system. And now, we’re seeing the “realityOS” name referenced in Apple’s source code for the first time ever.
Apple may release a mixed reality headset in 2023. It could preview the product at WWDC this summer and provide developers new tools to write downloadable apps.
Curiously, references to “RealityOS” have now been unearthed from App Store upload logs and the company’s open-source code. An Apple headset should be a self-contained product that will have its own App Store so this discovery is pretty significant because it suggests ongoing work on the accessory.
“rOS” and “RealityOS” were first mentioned in 2017 as possible internal names for custom operating system software that’s expected to power Apple’s headset.
Apple headset will be powered by “RealityOS”
Matthew Davis, an iOS developer with Lyft, spotted references to “rOS” in App Store logs and Apple’s source code available on Github. “Looks like Apple just accidentally confirmed Reality OS,” Matthew wrote on his Twitter. This is the first time that references to the rumored Apple headset operating system were found in any Apple code.

Irish developer Steve Troughton-Smith followed up by opining that the discovery at least confirms that Apple’s headset will indeed have its own operating system and binaries. He was also able to discover a “realityOS Simulator,” which could be similar to a feature in Xcode that lets developers rapidly prototype and test builds of their app.
AD
“iOS Simulator,” as it’s known, is a standard Mac app that simulates an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Apple TV environment. realityOS Simulator could let developers test apps for an upcoming Apple headset on a Mac without actually owning the accessory.
Reality OS is apparently codenamed “Oak.” In its first commercial version, the new operating system is expected to focus on communication tools and media consumption. The company could choose a more commercially appealing name for “rOS” before launch.
Credit where credit is due: Mark Gurman first mentioned “rOS”
The new operating system, internally dubbed “rOS” for “reality operating system,” is based on iOS, the iPhone’s operating system. Just as tvOS powers the Apple TV, macOS runs on Macs and watchOS runs on Apple Watches, “rOS” will power Apple’s AR headset. Geoff Stahl, formerly a software manager for games and graphics at Apple, is one of the directors of the “rOS” software group.
AD
Apple’s headset should be a standalone product requiring no connection to a computer or another device for processing purposes. Because Apple is designing the headset as a self-contained product, it’s expected to use custom chips providing Mac-level performance. Powerful hardware could, however, easily make Apple’s mixed reality accessory much more expensive than headsets from Meta, HTC and others.
It’s unclear whether the first version of the product will be a pricey development device aimed at programmers who would like to write software for it. If so, then the product could eventually be followed by a more affordable version engineered for the masses.
Since the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max launched with 120Hz ProMotion displays, third-party apps have been hamstrung by a Core Animation bug that capped their maximum usable framerate to 60Hz. Apple seems to have fixed this bug with the iOS 15.4 beta build that was rolled out to developers earlier this week.
The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max have been available to customers for several months. However, the Core Animation bug prevented developers of third-party applications from taking full advantage of the potent 120Hz refresh rate display. The hardware allows for smooth scrolling experiences and an improved visual experience while gaming.
Christian Selig, the developer of the award-winning Reddit app Apollo, tweeted that an Apple representative informed him of the Core Animation fix in iOS 15.4 beta. The developer later confirmed that the fix had been implemented.
Yay, got a little message from someone at Apple today that this is fixed in the iOS 15.4 betas and all apps automatically get 120 Hz animations on supported iPhones going forward, and just confirmed myself. (See attached, 1/120 = 8.33 ms) 🥳🥳🥳 https://t.co/EtZ9zkrM6Spic.twitter.com/04cl8uLb11
So, if you have an iPhone with a ProMotion display, you could soon experience more fluid scrolling and animations in apps. The smoothness helps the user interface appear more cohesive and well-integrated. That said, we are surprised it took Apple four iterations of iOS after the iPhone 13 launch to finally fix a bug that was significantly detrimental to the user experience.
Besides this fix, iOS 15.4 beta brings a host of useful new features, including new emoji, Universal Control, and Apple Card widget.
Do you think Apple should have addressed the Core Animation bug sooner? Let us know in the comments section below.
