#live speech

Apple has just announced ahead of its WWDC 2023 event new software features coming this year for cognitive, speech, and vision accessibility. Then there's Live Speech on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Live Speech was designed for those who are unable to speak or have lost their speech.

It then uses machine learning to integrate with Live Speech for users to then speak with their voice by simply typing on the screen. For VoiceOver users, Siri voices sound natural and expressive even at high rates of speech feedback; users can also customize the rate at which Siri speaks to them, with options ranging from 0.8x to 2x. The new storage standard delivers sequential read speeds of up to 10.8GB/s and write speeds of up to 9.5GB/s.
