Spoken updatesBeta
Speechy tells you out loud how your background tasks are going: “On it.” when one starts, “Quick question for you.” when it needs you and “All done.” when it finishes. The Agent also says a short line as it starts drawing, takes control and hands it back. Updates wait until you're not dictating, on a call or hearing Speechy talk.

Your Voiceover voice: Emma, unless you picked another.
Not with Emma. Her lines are recorded once and ship inside the app. If you picked another voice, the same words are spoken in it instead.
