Voices and per-viewer voices
How to choose the main voice, why viewers have different voices and how to assign a voice to a specific viewer.
Which voices are available
The voice list depends on the interface language: the voices read text in that language. You can change the language in Settings → Language, time & currency. For the Russian and Ukrainian interface, multilingual voices are also added to the list.
Voices in the list are split into Female voices and Male voices. The ▶ button next to a voice reads a test phrase. The set of voices is the same on the free plan and with Satomi Pro.
Random voice
Random voice is selected by default. It doesn't mean a new voice for every message: each viewer gets their own consistent voice, so they're easy to recognize by ear. If you pick a specific voice, it reads all viewers except those who have a voice assigned separately.
Voice for a specific viewer
From the feed
- Right-click the viewer's message, or click their username to open the viewer card.
- Choose Assign voice.
- Find a voice with Search voice… and click it.
To give the viewer back the main voice, open the same menu and click Reset voice.
From settings
- Text-to-speech → Personalization → Viewer voices.
- Click Add voice or group and choose a voice.
- Type the name in the Enter username field and press Enter. You can add several viewers to one card.
The name is matched case-insensitively and only as a whole. An @ at the start doesn't matter. For TikTok, both the display name and the @username work. Assigning a voice from the feed is more reliable: that way the name is sure to match.
Fixed voice per viewer
Text-to-speech → Advanced has a Fixed voice per viewer switch. With it, each viewer gets a consistent voice even if one main voice is selected, and the voice from a group stops changing from message to message.
Voice selection order
- The voice or group assigned to the viewer.
- Random voice or Fixed voice per viewer.
- The main voice from the Audio card.
