# Voice cloning and text-to-speech

When you type a message, the people who receive it hear a text-to-speech voice when
they listen. You can configure which voice that is:

- **TTS engine** — the standard text-to-speech voice, based on the gender preference
  you set.
- **Premium TTS** — a more natural-sounding engine.
- **Cloned voice** — sounds as though you spoke the message yourself.

These settings also apply to messages translated into other languages, so a recipient
can hear you speaking their language in your own voice.

## Setting it up

Open your **Profile Menu**, go to **Settings → Global Voice - TTS & Translation**, then
choose from the drop-down under **Text-to-Speech**.

## From an AI assistant

Claude and ChatGPT can create a voice memo from text you give them, spoken in whichever
voice you've set here, and hand back a link to share. See
