Accessibility features for speech on Mac
Your Mac comes with built-in tools for communicating in the way that works best for you, whether you’re nonspeaking, at risk of speech loss, or someone with a speech disability. You can have what you type spoken out loud, create a synthesized voice that sounds like you, and more.
To explore accessibility features for speech, choose Apple menu 
in the sidebar, then go to the Speech section. (You may need to scroll down.)

Type to speak
 Live Speech If you’re unable to speak or you have a speech disability, type what you want to say and have your Mac speak it. |  Personal Voice If you’re at risk of losing your ability to speak, create a synthesized voice that sounds like you. |

Control your Mac with your voice
