Sonoma/iOS 17 Personal Voice

A new feature coming to Mac and iPhone soon is Personal Voice. This is where you can go through a process and record your voice. It then becomes a Siri-like voice you can use in Live Speech to type-to-talk. This can be used in place of a microphone in most apps if you can't speak or are in a situation where you can't use a mic.

Creating Custom Memories in Photos

If you enjoy the Memories feature of the Mac Photo app you don't need to wait for Memories to be automatically created, you can make your own. With either your custom Memory or an automatic one, you can also export the video to share or use in projects.
