# Voice & Language

Two related things live here: **how you sound** to the people listening, and **what
language** they hear you in.

Neither is something you invoke. You set them once and they apply to everything you send
from then on.

- **[Personalize the voice for messages you type](https://help.carbonvoice.app/voice-and-language/typed-message-voice)** — the
  text-to-speech voice used when someone plays back something you typed.
- **[Voice cloning and text-to-speech](https://help.carbonvoice.app/voice-and-language/voice-cloning)** — make that voice sound like you.
- **[Auto-translation and Global Voice](https://help.carbonvoice.app/voice-and-language/auto-translation)** — talk across languages, in
  your own voice.

All three are configured in one place: **Profile Menu → Settings → Global Voice - TTS &
Translation**.

## Why they belong together

Cloning and translation are the same feature from two directions. Clone your voice, and a
message translated into Spanish is still spoken in *your* voice, so a colleague hears you
speaking their language, rather than a robot reading your words.
