Coach Mo has two different voice-related controls. On Apple Watch, Pro members can have a live spoken conversation. In the iPhone Coach screen, the microphone is Dictate: it turns speech into editable text for a normal Coach message. The iPhone control does not start a live voice call or read replies aloud.

Dictate a Coach Mo message on iPhone

  1. Open Coach Mo in the iPhone app.
  2. Tap Dictate beside the message field.
  3. Allow microphone and speech-recognition access if iOS asks.
  4. Speak, then review and edit the transcribed text.
  5. Tap Send. Coach Mo replies in the conversation as text.
Use this when you want to speak your question but still review it before sending.

Start a live voice conversation on Apple Watch

  1. Open the MoveTogether app on your Apple Watch.
  2. Choose the Coach Mo voice control from the Watch home screen.
  3. Start the call and allow microphone access when watchOS asks.
  4. Speak after Mo’s greeting. Your latest spoken words and Mo’s latest response appear as a transcript while the call is open.
  5. Tap End when you are finished.
Coach Mo voice requires an active Pro subscription. If the Pro voice service budget has been used, the Watch reports that it resets soon rather than starting a call.

Choose how Mo sounds

Voice uses your selected Coach Mo persona. On first opening Coach Mo directly, the iPhone app can show Pick a voice; choosing an option saves that persona. To change it later, open Coach Mo, open Settings → Coach Mo, then choose Personality. Your selected persona applies to Coach responses generally, including Watch voice; the Watch does not expose a separate voice picker. Roast tone and roast intensity also carry across chat, Coach pushes, and voice. See Roast mode for the available intensity levels and age restrictions.

If voice does not start

  • Confirm that the Watch is signed in to the same MoveTogether account and that the account has Pro.
  • Allow microphone access for MoveTogether on the Watch, then start a new call.
  • Check that the Watch has a network connection and try again.
  • If the Watch says the Pro voice service budget has been used, wait for the stated reset rather than repeatedly reconnecting.
  • If it remains unavailable, use typed Coach Mo on the iPhone or contact support.
Coach Mo voice gives general fitness guidance. It is not medical advice or an emergency service.
