You can't use Personal voice with VoiceOver correct? Mine is building as I write this. If not, I'm going to suggest this as an option.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

To my knowledge, that is correct; it is not possible to use your personal voice as the VoiceOver voice.

Hi, on iOS17 public beta it is impossible. Vo does not read out the phrases you need to speak. Total silence. So if other people have managed to do this with no sight I'd love to know how.

This works great, although the creation process itself is now stuck for me. The phrase is shown just above the record button.

I believe personal voice is only available on devices with the A14 and later chips; The iPhone SE (2020) has an A13.
