Phone Calls – Telephony

Important:

  • You must be using the Unity AAC app on a non-dedicated device. If you are using a dedicated device, you will not be able to use the phone functionality.

  • You and each person you call must have a FaceTime® account.

During a phone call, the usual spoken voice in the app will switch to a Phone/FaceTime voice. When you end the call, the spoken voice will switch back to your usual voice in the app.

To select or change your phone voice:

  1. In Unity AAC, select Menu > Settings and scroll to the Speech section. Select Phone/FaceTime Voice to open a list of available voices. The voice currently selected displays a checkmark.

  2. To change the voice, select the play icon to hear how a voice sounds. Listen to several voices if necessary.

  3. When you find the voice you want, select the Apple icon to download and install it.

Tip: If you want to see words highlighted in the Speech Display Bar (SDB) as they are spoken during a telephony call, see Highlight Spoken Words during Phone Calls/FaceTime.
