# Voices & speaking models

# Voices & speaking models

Your interviewer can speak in roughly **50 professional voices** — a range of genders, accents, and vibes from warm and soothing to energetic and authoritative.

## Pick a voice

Search and filter by name, gender, or personality, then **preview any voice** with one tap before you commit. If your workspace connects a custom voice provider, your own created voices appear here too.

The voice you choose is independent of which persona you pick, and it **sticks** — switching personas, adjusting dials, or tweaking other settings will not change it. Your voice only changes when you deliberately pick a new one.

## Choose your speaking model

Three speech engines are available, each tuned for a different priority:

- **Turbo (the default)** — the fastest, built for live, real-time conversation and instant dictation. The right choice for almost every form.
- **Multilingual (most stable)** — a polished, narration-grade engine. Best when the voice should sound more deliberate (long welcome messages, storytelling).
- **Expressive (most expressive)** — the most emotionally nuanced, with broad language support. Best for entertainment, quizzes, and brand experiences where character shines.

If a model is not available on your account, ChatWisp automatically falls back to a working one while keeping your chosen voice — your form never goes silent.

## How it works for respondents

The interviewer **speaks your questions aloud** in your chosen voice. Respondents **speak back**, and their words are transcribed live. Modern browsers support voice with no setup. Respondents can **barge in** — start talking mid-question to interrupt — and **live captions** show every word for clarity and accessibility.
