Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11 that allows the system to simulate the user's voice and speak on their behalf when needed. According to observations in the latest beta version of Windows 11, Microsoft has added a feature called "Speak for Me" in the accessibility settings to enable users to teach the operating system how to speak in their personal voice.
According to the description attached to the feature in the settings, Windows 11 will allow the creation of a synthetic voice or the use of the user's own voice during online meetings or personal conversations. This feature works on a text-to-speech mechanism, which means that users will be able to type any text for the system to pronounce it in a way that mimics their real voice, rather than using a random robotic voice.
This feature can be quickly accessed using keyboard shortcuts by pressing the Windows key along with Ctrl and T. Microsoft has not officially announced this new feature, and it is not currently functional in the beta versions of Windows 11. The company is expected to reveal more details about it later.
It is worth noting that Apple recently launched a similar feature on its devices called "Personal Voice," which allows users to create a composite voice that sounds like their real voice for communication with others on FaceTime, phone calls, and various communication apps through a text-to-speech mechanism.
