Voice Utilization

The Voices app makes use of the voices already installed on your device instead of providing its own. For example, it can leverage voices from 'Speech Services by Google'. This service offers both female and male voice options across multiple languages. If your device doesn't have 'Speech Services by Google', you can easily download it from the Google Play Store. You can modify the active voice through the app's voice settings, giving you the flexibility to choose the voice that suits your preference.

Full Version Features and Upgrade

The app comes with a free basic version. However, within the app's settings, you have the option to upgrade to the full version. The upgrade is achieved via a one - time payment, and it unlocks several additional features without the need for any subscription.

Unlimited Categories: The full version allows you to access an unlimited number of categories, expanding the app's functionality.

Backup and Restore: You can backup your important data within the app and restore it when needed, ensuring that your information is safe.

Symbol Selection: It offers the ability to choose symbols from a vast collection of 3400 Mulberry Symbols, providing more options for customization.

Button Color Customization: Customize the colors of individual buttons, enabling you to personalize the app's appearance according to your taste.

Phrase History: Quickly access previously spoken phrases through the history feature, making it convenient to reuse common expressions.

User Profiles: Create user profiles for different languages, contexts, or people. This is especially useful if you use the app in various scenarios or with different audiences.

Tabbed Conversations: Seamlessly switch between multiple conversations using tabs, enhancing the app's usability for multitasking.

Audio Recording and Import: Record audio directly onto a button and import voice recordings into the app, adding another layer of functionality.

App Functionality Requirement

One of the notable aspects of the Voices app is that it does not require an internet connection to function. This makes it highly accessible and convenient, allowing you to use it anywhere, even in areas with poor or no internet coverage.
