Can I create my personal voice using prerecorded audio?

I have already lost my voice, so I can’t speak random phrases.

Hello Andrew ,


This is a really great question. I am so sorry to hear you’ve lost your voice.


As of right now, there is no option to use a pre-recorded audio because it’s set up to speak a series of 150 phrases during Personal Voice set up. I’ve added a screenshot of how it starts off just so you can see that. I think the dilemma is the prerecorded audio would have to be of you speaking each phrase which nobody knows what the random phrases are until they start doing them. When I set mine up, you say a phrase then it quickly moves to the next phrases back to back. The problem is your prerecorded audio doesn’t have those phrases.


Disclaimer: I’m not saying don’t try it. Just letting you know the option isn’t there. If you do try it, then your audio would definitely have to be at least 15mins of you talking. Once you start recording the first phrase, just hit play on your audio device to see what happens. I don’t know if it will take it or how accurate it will be if it does take it.
