# personalVoiceAuthorizationStatus

Your app’s authorization to use personal voices.

## Declaration

```swift
class var personalVoiceAuthorizationStatus: AVSpeechSynthesizer.PersonalVoiceAuthorizationStatus { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The user can grant or deny your app’s request to use personal voices when they’re initially prompted, and change the authorization in the Settings app. Additionally, the framework denies the request if the device doesn’t support using personal voices.
