Voice Settings

The application supports both local and cloud-based voice synthesis methods. You can choose the appropriate voice solution based on your needs.

Local Voice

Local voice uses the deviceā€™s built-in voice engine and can be used without internet connection.

Android System Settings

Before using local voice, please complete the following preparations:

  1. Install Chinese TTS and Voice Packages

Typically, your phone system comes with a TTS engine, but it only has one voice, which is not suitable for dialogue scenarios. Therefore, we need to install an additional TTS engine.

  • Go to System Settings
  • Find Language and Input settings
  • Check TTS engines, if thereā€™s only one, you need to install another TTS engine
  1. Recommended voice engines:

    • Xiaomi Voice Engine (can be downloaded from here, third-party software, please assess risks yourself)

    • Google Text-to-Speech Engine (can be downloaded from Google Play)

    • Note: Although Xiaomi Voice Engine can be used offline, it connects to the internet by default for better results. Itā€™s free but may incur data charges.

iOS System

iOS system comes with Chinese voice engine, no additional setup needed.

Voice Parameter Settings

You can adjust the following parameters to achieve the best voice effect:

  • Speech Rate: Adjust the speed of voice playback
  • Pitch: Adjust the pitch of the voice
  • Volume: Adjust the volume of the voice

Cloud Voice

Cloud voice uses AI technology to generate more natural voice effects and requires internet connection.

Preparation

  1. Fill in API Key in the settings interface

    • Can use API Key from SiliconFlow.cn, a domestic AI company
  2. Enable ā€œUse Cloud TTSā€ option

Voice Parameter Settings

Cloud voice also supports adjusting:

  • Speech Rate
  • Pitch
  • Volume

Note that currently many AI model interfaces donā€™t support these parameters. We adjust them during playback, so they are not supported when exporting audio.

Character Customization

You can set different voice characteristics and personalized settings for both host and assistant.

Host/Assistant Settings

  • Set Name: Choose an appropriate name for the role
  • Personality Traits: Customize the characterā€™s personality
  • Expression Style: Adjust the tone and style of speech

Optimization Settings

In the settings interface, you can also enable the following features to optimize voice effects:

  • Secondary Polish: Use AI to optimize generated dialogues for more natural flow
  • Auto Translation: Can automatically translate non-Chinese content (if needed)
