Change Personal Voice settings for accessibility on Mac
On your Mac, use Personal Voice settings to create a synthesized voice that sounds like you.
Note: Personal Voice is available only on Mac computers with Apple silicon, and is not available in all languages. Personal Voice can be used only with Live Speech and with third-party apps that you allow, such as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) apps. You can use Personal Voice only to create a voice that sounds like you on device, using your own voice, and for your own personal, noncommercial use.
To change these settings, choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Accessibility in the sidebar, go to Speech on the right, then click Personal Voice. (You may need to scroll down.)
