Can someone confirm that Personal Voice is available for devices running a A12 chipset ? Currently it does not appear in the Speech settings of an IPad Mini 5 or was this feature pulled from the IOS 17 rollout to be released at a later date through an Update…?
There is very limited information on the Internet regarding this feature on A12 Chipsets.

I see a lot of crashes on iOS 17 beta regarding some problem of "Text To Speech". Does anybody has a clue why TTS crashes? Anybody else seeing the same problem?

I need a simple text-to-speech avatar in my iOS app. iOS already has Memojis ready to go - but I cannot find anywhere in the dev docs on how to access Memojis to use in as a tool in app development. Am I missing something? Also - can anyone point me to any resources besides the Apple docs for using AVSpeechSynthesis?
