Thank you for your interest in trying Second Voice with your enterprise. This guide has been made specifically for enterprise users to walk them through how to best implement Second Voice in their organization.
If you're a consumer and interested in trying Second Voice, please check out our consumer guide coming later this month (June).
Second Voice requires iOS 18.5. However, it is best experienced on iOS 26. The devices that support iOS 26 are as follows: the iPhone 17 series, the iPhone 16e, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, the iPhone 15 Plus and 15, the iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 12 series, the iPhone 11 series, the iPhone SE third generation from 2022, and the iPhone SE second generation from 2020.
The iPads that support iPadOS 26 are as follows: iPad Pro M4, iPad Pro M2, iPad Pro M1, iPad Air M2 and newer, iPad Air fifth gen M1, iPad mini A17 Pro, iPad mini sixth gen, iPad A16, iPad tenth gen, iPad eighth gen, and iPad ninth gen.
Furthermore, Smart Phrases is a feature powered by Apple Intelligence and therefore requires some newer models. The devices that are able to use Smart Phrases are the iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, the iPad Pro M4, the iPad Pro M2, the iPad Pro M1, the iPad Air M2 and newer, the iPad Air fifth gen M1, and the iPad mini A17 Pro. Any other devices on this list as compatible with iOS or iPadOS 26 will be able to run Second Voice; however, they may not be able to run Smart Phrases unless they are newer or the same as the devices listed above.
The version of Second Voice for Apple Watch is designed primarily for Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Series 11 due to the enhanced speaker array, allowing for the playing of media, including voice prompts, through the speakers. If you intend to use Second Voice for Apple Watch within your organization, please contact us as it may be possible to run Second Voice for Apple Watch on other models, though we have not conducted extensive tests.
Development of Second Voice for Android platforms is temporarily paused due to development constraints and we do not currently have an estimated timeline for bringing Second Voice back to the Google Play Store. For more information, please see our guide entitled "Addressing Android." If you have needs for Second Voice on Android within your organization, please contact us and we will see what we can do.
If your organization intends to use beta features, like Educator Tools or Environmental ASL (coming soon), please reach out to us so that we can fine-tune these features for your needs.
The Second Voice project can be distributed via Apple Business Manager for concise distribution within your enterprise. If you are currently an Apple Business member, you may have access to Apple Business Manager or ABM to manage the apps and devices that you have in your network.
Please contact your IT desk to learn more about ABM. Second Voice also offers dedicated enterprise discounts for enterprises signing up users to Second Voice's premium tiers in large quantities. These may vary depending on the number of licenses and whether or not your enterprise is paying by the month or the year. For more information, please contact us at hello@duckysoftware.com.
