Definition

Voice cloning for accessibility lets assistive technology speak in a person’s own voice instead of a generic one. With consent, you clone the voice from a short sample on the Speechify Build API and use that voice ID in read-aloud, communication, or AAC tools. It makes assistive speech personal.

A personal voice

Generic assistive voices work, but they are not the person. A cloned voice gives read-aloud and communication aids the individual’s own sound, which matters for identity and for the people who know them. Zero-shot cloning needs only a short clean sample, so capturing the voice is quick.

Preserving a voice

Because cloning captures a voice from a sample, it can preserve that voice for later use in assistive tools. A recorded sample today becomes a usable voice tomorrow. See the accessibility reader page.

A consent record with the person’s full name and email is required to create the voice. A personal voice is cloned only with authorization. See the voice cloning API.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does voice cloning help accessibility?
Voice cloning lets assistive technology speak in a person's own voice rather than a generic one. With consent, clone the voice from a short sample using the Speechify Build API, then use that voice ID in read-aloud or communication tools. It personalizes assistive speech and can preserve a voice.
Can this preserve someone's voice?
Yes. Cloning captures a voice from a sample, so it can be preserved and used later in assistive tools. Because a short clean sample is enough for zero-shot cloning, capturing a voice is quick.
Is consent required?
Yes. A consent record with the person's full name and email is required to create the voice, so a personal voice is only ever cloned with authorization.
