Personalize the voice for messages you type

When you type a message, Carbon Voice generates audio so the recipient can listen to it rather than read it. You can personalize how that sounds:

  • Set the text-to-speech gender.
  • Choose the premium TTS engine, which sounds better.
  • Clone your voice, so typed messages sound like you said them.

Text to speech settings

Changing the setting​

  1. Tap your profile picture to open the Profile Menu. It's at the top left of Home on mobile, and at the bottom of the navigation sidebar on desktop.
  2. Go to Settings → Global Voice - TTS & Translation.
  3. Under Text-to-Speech, choose how your typed messages should sound.

Your preference applies to new messages you send after making the change.

Things to know​

  • These settings apply both when you type a message and when a message of yours is translated into another language.
  • TTS gender is used with the basic or premium engine, and also with cloning, when translating into a language where cloning isn't supported.
