This guide explains how to choose and change AI voices when creating audio with BeyondWords.

Quick tips
Your project language/locale will impact your voice options. You can change this anytime in 'Settings (General)'.

You can change these default voices in the 'Settings (General)' section of your project dashboard (please note this will also affect the default voices for the TTS Editor). Press the play icon next to any voice option to hear a preview.
Audio created using our API will use a maximum of two voices by default: one to read the title, and one to read the body content. Default voices can be changed in the 'Settings (General)' section of your project dashboard (please note this will also affect the default voices for the TTS Editor). Press the play icon next to any voice option to hear a preview.
When using HTML, you can manually set voices at a title or paragraph level by adding a data-speechkit-voice=* data attribute to the <title> or <p> element, where * is the voice ID from our list of voices. You can also override the default voice for any paragraph by editing your audio in the TTS Editor.
Text-to-Speech Editor users
When creating audio in our TTS Editor, the default voices for titles and body content will be used. These can be changed in the 'Settings (General)' section of your project dashboard.
When creating or editing audio in the Editor, you can change the voice associated with any title or paragraph by selecting the voice name then selecting a new voice from the menu. Press the play icon next to any voice option to hear a preview.
