⚙️ Voice Settings window (gear button next to Voice)

What it does
Fine-tunes how the agent’s voice behaves, separate from which voice you chose.
Voice Speed, Temperature, and Volume sliders Fields in this window
  1. Voice Speed
    Adjusts how quickly the agent speaks, using a slider that ranges (approximately) from 0.00 (slowest) to 2.00 (fastest).
    As you move the slider, the displayed value updates. The new speed is saved automatically when you let go of the slider.
  2. Voice Temperature
    Controls how expressive or dynamic the agent’s voice sounds.
    Higher values typically allow for more natural variation in speech.
    Adjust using the same style of slider; value is saved when you release it.
  3. Voice Volume
    Sets how loud the agent’s voice is.
    Use the slider to increase or decrease loudness; value is saved automatically upon release.
Footer actions
  • Close: Closes the settings window.
  • Changes for speed, temperature, and volume are saved the moment you finish adjusting each slider—there’s no separate “Save” button for these controls in the footer.
Default values
If no previous settings exist, all three fields (speed, temperature, and volume) start at approximately 1.
