Voice Chat and Voice Messages

There are two ways to hear your companion out loud.

	Voice messages	Voice calls
What it is	A companion’s text reply played as audio	A live spoken conversation
Best for	Hearing a scene you liked	Talking without typing
Start here if	You want to try your companion’s voice	You want a back-and-forth conversation

Voice-message allowances depend on your paid plan. Ultimate includes voice chat.

Voice messages

Look for the voice chip on a companion’s reply. It shows an audio length, such as 30s. Tap it to hear the reply aloud.

Check Chat Settings → Speech for allowance and pricing information. Generating speech after your plan’s limit is a paid action.

Choosing how your companion sounds

Open Chat Settings, then choose Speech to adjust the narrator and your companion’s voice.

Turn the narrator on or off

Dialogue is what your companion says. Narration describes actions and the scene.

Use Enable Narrator to choose whether narration is read aloud too.

Enable Narrator	What you hear
On	Dialogue and narration, with a separate voice for the narrator
Off	Your companion’s dialogue only

For this reply:

Mika sets down her coffee. “You made it.”

On: The narrator reads “Mika sets down her coffee.” Your companion reads “You made it.”
Off: You hear only “You made it.”

Turn the narrator off when you want to focus on the spoken conversation. Keep it on when you want to hear the scene descriptions too.

Pick the narrator's voice

With narration on, you may choose either a Narrator Female or Narrator Male. Use the play button beside a voice to preview it.

Pick your companion's voice

Under Companion Voice, you get a library of ready-made voices.

This selection applies to the current conversation.

To edit the voice on the companion’s profile, use its Voice field. See Editing and Managing Companions.

Use the dropdown at the top right to filter the list:

Filter	What it shows
All	All available voices
Official	Nectar’s built-in voices
Your Voices	Voices you have generated

Voice calls

Calls are charged by the minute, separately from your subscription. Check the displayed rate before starting.

Open a conversation and tap Call at the top.
Allow microphone access if your browser asks.
Wait for the call to connect, then speak.

What a call is like

Once connected, speak to your companion and listen for their response.

You can interrupt. Start speaking while your companion is talking. They will stop and respond to what you say.

Use this to add a detail, ask a question, or change the direction of the conversation.

Use the call controls as needed:

Control	What it does
Mute	Turns off your microphone while keeping the call open
Hang up	Ends the call
Transcript	Shows a written record of the conversation

What to expect

Be in a quiet space so your microphone can pick up your voice clearly.

If your companion cannot hear you, check if the call is muted and that your browser has microphone access.

When returning to text chat, restate any call detail you want to continue discussing.

For example:

Let’s continue planning the café visit we talked about.

Custom voices

Power tip

Before you try this: Try the ready-made voices under Chat Settings → Speech → Companion Voice.

To design a voice, tap Generate Voice + at the bottom of the list.

Name the voice and describe its accent, pace, and tone.
Check the displayed price, then tap Generate Previews.
Listen to the available previews.
Select the one you prefer, then use Bring to Life to save your choice.

Once saved, your custom voice appears under Your Voices. You can select it for any companion.

Generating previews is a paid action. Check the displayed price before generating another set.

Writing a voice prompt

Describe how the voice should sound. Specific details give clearer direction than a broad label.

Less specific	More specific
Sexy voice	Low, unhurried, slightly breathy, with a soft rasp at the end of sentences
British accent	Southern English accent, crisp consonants, and measured pace
Bubbly voice	Bright and quick, mid-twenties, words running together when excited

Useful details include age, accent, pace, pitch, and texture. Texture describes qualities such as breathy, smooth, or raspy.

Compare the previews against the same questions:

Is the accent what you wanted?
Is the pace comfortable to follow?
Does the pitch and texture suit the companion?

If you want another variation, change one part of the description. For example, keep the accent and replace “quick” with “unhurried.”

Always preview before you save.
