Creative update
Custom Voices in Omni AI Companion
Custom Voices lets you shape a listening experience that feels more personal. The useful work is in choosing a character, pace, and emotional register that supports your conversations or creative drafts without confusing style with identity.
What changed
Listening can feel more intentional
A selected voice gives spoken moments a consistent tone that may better fit a reflective, playful, or focused session.
Choice remains yours
You can adjust the direction when the mood changes instead of treating one voice as the right answer for every context.
Why this feature matters
A custom voice can make a bedtime story, study prompt, or personal writing exercise feel distinct. It can also help a creator test how a script lands before choosing a final narrator.
Personalization should never be used to impersonate someone. Consider who may hear the result, whether the tone is appropriate, and whether the voice makes a claim about identity that is not true.
Feature examples and use cases
- A study companion: A learner chooses a measured voice for reading flashcard prompts aloud during review.
- A creative character: A writer experiments with a warm, deliberate delivery while shaping dialogue for a fictional narrator.
- A calming ritual: Someone chooses a gentle pace for a short evening reflection.
How to use it
- Find voice choices: Open Side menu → Settings → Custom Voices and review the voices currently offered to your account.
- Match voice to purpose: Consider audience, pace, clarity, and emotional tone before choosing a voice for a session or draft.
- Listen before sharing: Play a representative passage, check names and emphasis, and explain the nature of the voice when context could be misunderstood.
Tips for a better first try
- Choose clarity before novelty.
- Test a voice with the actual kind of text you will hear.
- Revisit the choice when the audience or mood changes.
Limitations and things to know
- Voice choices and expressive behavior may change as the feature evolves.
- Do not present a custom voice as a real person's speech or endorsement.

Frequently asked questions
Can a custom voice copy someone I know?
Use voices respectfully and never use them to impersonate, deceive, or suggest a person's approval.
Can I use one voice everywhere?
You can choose what fits each context; the available application of a voice depends on the current experience.
Why does a voice sound different with different text?
Punctuation, emphasis, unfamiliar words, and writing style affect delivery. Test the real passage you plan to use.
