The Bixby Voice Creator feature is rolling out slowly
The Bixby Voice Creator is rolling out slowly but you can still keep an eye out for its arrival. It might take a little extra time and effort on your part, but you can check to see if the feature has arrived on your Galaxy device by updating all Galaxy Store apps, opening the Bixby app and the app’s settings, and looking to see if a Create Custom Voice option appears in the Language and voice style menu. If it does, congratulations! You’re ready to create your custom Bixby voice.
The Bixby Voice Creator allows you to create a custom digitized voice for the digital assistant
Before you get started, it is important to make sure that your phone is charged up to at least 30%. Once that has been done, follow these directions:
- Open Bixby (by long pressing the power button or tapping its icon in the app drawer) and go to its settings.
- Tap on the Language and voice style option.
- Tap on the Create Custom Voice option found at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap on Create Custom Voice the first time will require you to download some apps from the Galaxy Store. Do that, then repeat the first three steps before moving on.
- Hit the Start button to start the voice creation procedure.
Your customized Bixby voice will be used to answer queries and for text-to-speech features
When the process is done, go to Settings > Language and voice style to see if the name of your custom voice is on the list. You can tap on it to make it the default voice. And if you’re not happy with it, you’re free to make as many custom voices as you want until you’re happy with the results.
One of the features that the custom voice was created for is the Bixby Text Call. A Text Call is answered by typing a message. Bixby converts the typed message to audio and plays it over the phone line to the caller. The caller’s response, after Bixby vocalizes your text message, is transcribed by converting it from audio to text which you get to read from the screen. Apparently, the goal is to have Bixby read the text message written by the recipient of the Text Call to the caller using the recipient’s own customized digital voice via Bixby.
