This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Speak for me for your account in Windows 11.

With the help of Speak for me, you can create your own voice avatar or preserve your own voice to communicate with others, whether in online meeting or in-person conversations.

Type what you want to say and have it spoken aloud by Speak for me when turned on.

Speak for me is currently a hidden feature in Windows 11 build 26052 (Canary and Dev) that needs to be enabled using the command below with the ViVeTool app if you wanted to play with it now until officially released.

vivetool /enable /id:44950080,47123936,47405131,47976395,48002155,48339425,48624087,48812316,48900033


The Speak for me feature is still just a work in progress, and does not currently work yet.
