Tap Voices, choose a voice, then tap Speak Sample to hear it.
To use the voice, tap Download [name of voice], then tap Use Voice.
To set up the Accessibility Shortcut to turn on Live Speech, go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then choose Live Speech.
Type to speak
Triple-click the Digital Crown, choose Live Speech if you have more than one accessibility shortcut enabled, then type what you’d like to have spoken or choose a favorite phrase.
Tip: Add your most frequently used phrases so you can quickly access them. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Live Speech, then tap Favorite Phrases.
Tap Send to have your phrase spoken.
People hear your words spoken in the conversation if you’re on a phone or FaceTime audio call. Otherwise they will come out of the speaker on your Apple Watch Ultra.
Use your Personal Voice with Live Speech
With Personal Voice, you can create a synthesized voice that sounds like your own to communicate with family and friends. Use your Personal Voice to type to speak in FaceTime and phone calls, assistive communication apps, and in-person conversations. After setting up Personal Voice on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you can choose to use that voice with Live Speech on your Apple Watch Ultra. (Available in select languages.)
To use your Personal Voice on Apple Watch Ultra:
Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch Ultra.
Go to Accessibility > Live Speech.
Tap English (US), then choose your Personal Voice.
Important: You may only use Personal Voice to create a voice on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that sounds like you using your own personal voice for your personal, noncommercial use.
