TTS

Here’s where you can manage speech generation for your AI avatar, including TTS (text-to-speech) service selection and launching a custom voice via ElevenLabs. These settings let you adjust voice delivery and ensure your digital assistant provides clear, intelligible responses across various languages.

Start by expanding the Text-to-Speech (TTS) drop-down menu to select your preferred service provider:

  • Google TTS: supports voice output in over 50 languages, with multiple voice options for each language
  • ElevenLabs: offers 30+ supported languages using one selected voice across all, with custom voice setup available

Further configuration steps slightly differ depending on which TTS provider you’ve chosen.

  • For Google TTS

Each selected language will appear below as a separate drop-down field with multiple voice options, matched in gender to your avatar.

For this TTS service, a single voice is used across all selected languages. Expand the Voice drop-down and choose the one you prefer.

Tip:  

Instructions for launching a custom voice from your own ElevenLabs account can be found below.

Once you’ve Saved your TTS configuration (regardless of the provider), the selected languages will also become available in the Talk in menu within the Avatar Display section on the right, allowing you to pick one and talk to your avatar in real-time using that language.

How to Launch a Custom AI Voice​

For those seeking a more distinct auditory representation, Genesis Studio provides the ability to connect custom AI-generated speech profiles from ElevenLabs. This enables you to give your avatar a tailored vocal identity that reflects your brand tone and resonates with your audience.

To set this up, choose ElevenLabs from the drop-down menu of available TTS services.
