Gemini

Google Gemini is a new voice assistant that’s getting people talking. Many want to know if they can change its voice. Right now the options are limited. Google has added one new voice for Gemini but it only works on Android phones.

Changing Gemini’s voice is easy on Android. You just need to go into the app settings. Tap your profile picture then choose Settings. From there you can pick a different voice for Gemini to use. This lets you customize how Gemini sounds when it talks to you.

For iPhone users the news isn’t as good. Gemini doesn’t have voice options on iOS yet. Google might add this feature later. For now Android users have more choices. But all Gemini users can enjoy talking to this smart AI assistant no matter what voice it uses.

Accessing Google Assistant Voice Settings

Navigating to Voice Settings on Android Devices

To change Google Assistant’s voice on Android:

  1. Open the Google app
  2. Tap your profile picture in the top right
  3. Select “Settings”
  4. Tap “Google Assistant”
  5. Choose “Assistant voice & sounds”

Some Android phones let you say “Hey Google open Assistant settings” to get there faster. This works on most devices with Google Assistant.

  2. Tap your profile icon

Changing the Google Gemini Voice

Google Gemini lets you pick how it sounds. You can choose between male and female voices. This makes talking to Gemini more fun and personal.

Selecting a New Voice for Google Assistant

To change Gemini’s voice, start with Google Assistant. Open the Google app on your phone. Tap the More button at the bottom right. Then go to Settings and look for Voice. Here you’ll see different voice options.

Pick the language you want. Then choose from the voices for that language. Each voice has its own accent and style. Try a few to see what you like best.

Remember, the voice you pick for Assistant will be used in Gemini too.

Differences Between Male and Female Voices

Gemini offers both male and female voices. Each type has its own sound and feel. Female voices often sound softer and higher. Male voices tend to be deeper and lower.

The choice between male and female is personal. Some people find female voices more friendly. Others prefer male voices for their authority. Try both to see which you like more.

Gemini’s voices are designed to sound natural. They use AI to mimic real speech patterns.

Finalizing the Voice Change on the Gemini App

Once you’ve picked a voice in Google Assistant, open the Gemini app. Tap your profile picture at the top. Then go to Settings and find Gemini’s Voice.

Here you can listen to the new voice. If you like it, you’re all set. If not, you can go back and try another. The voice you choose will be used for all of Gemini’s spoken responses.

Remember, this change affects all Gemini features. It’s used in Gemini Live and when you ask Gemini to read responses out loud.
