Hello all
Does anyone know if the personal voice will work outside of the United States of America?

I live in the United Kingdom and as far as I know the only language I can select is English United States this would not really work for a British person as of course we have different accents and anyone tried this outside of the US.

Thank you,

Will

So i set it up in Australia and it pretty much works but some of the words have a bit of an American lilt to them. Its a bit odd but for the most part just sounds like robot matt haha.

Here's me literally talking about the feature, proving I can use it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dvzrg0qgC5imotWcgY4pgL90k_q7FPCg/view?usp=sharing
This recording literally speaks for itself.
Speaking of the Personal Voice feature, I would like to talk about something quite important that I mentioned earlier and also reported to Apple, which appears to be either unnoticed or deemed unworthy of attention. You have no option but to deal with the Accessibility Shortcuts dialogue every time you turn VoiceOver on or off if you wish to keep Live Speech enabled. This is not a major deal when turning off VoiceOver, but trying to turn it on may be challenging for some. We should be able to assign some other gesture to it, or disable gestures for Personal Voice altogether, accessing it only through a button to activate it during a call. Thanks for listening to me! Note, though, that this is not a transcript of the recording itself.
