Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest AI voice engine in Vois?

The fast engine generates English speech at 3-6x real-time speed. With GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon Macs, it reaches 6x real-time, meaning a 10-minute script generates in under 2 minutes.

Which Vois engine should I use for podcasts?

The expressive engine is best for podcasts. It supports emotion tags like [laugh], [sigh], and [chuckle] that add natural inflection to dialogue. It runs at 2x real-time speed and produces the most lifelike English output.

Can I switch between engines in the same project?

Yes. You can switch engines at any time in a project. Generate rough drafts with the fast engine, then re-generate final takes with the expressive engine. Pro users can also route voices through Omni for 600+ languages and Voice Design.

Does the multilingual engine support English too?

Yes. The multilingual engine handles English and 22 other languages. However, for English-only content, the expressive engine typically produces better results because it's optimized specifically for English speech patterns.

How many languages does Vois support?

The legacy multilingual engine supports 23 major languages. Omni extends coverage to 600+ languages on Pro. The fast and expressive engines are English-only.
