Voice Picker

Browse the full voice catalog and pick a voice for your generation.

Choose a voice is the modal that opens when you click the voice card in the Studio’s right panel, when you click any voice slot in the agent builder, or from the + Create Voice topbar shortcut. It carries every Wittify voice across four tabs, plus a search field, a Filters popover, a Language and Dialect chip row, and a brand-gradient Create A Voice button that routes into the Clone or Design wizard.

The modal at a glance

The picker is a wide dialog (up to 980 px on a desktop). It always shows the close icon in the top-end-edge corner.

Region	What you see
Tab bar	Four pill tabs grouped together on the start edge: Explore, My Voices, Favorites, All Voices. The active tab gets a card-tinted background.
Create A Voice button	A brand-gradient pill with a star icon on the end edge of the tab bar. Opens the Create a new voice picker.
Search bar	Spans the full width below the tabs. The placeholder reads Search voices… It searches across name and dialect. The input is capped at 120 characters.
Filters button	Right after the search bar, with a sliders icon and a small badge showing the count of active filters.
Clear filters link	Appears only when at least one filter is active or the search box has text.
Language chip	A pill below the search row showing the active macro language with a flag and chevron. Default reads Language.
Dialect chip	Appears next to the language chip when the chosen language has a dialect list. Default reads Dialect.
Voice list	The body of the modal. Scrolls vertically.

The four tabs

Explore

The default tab. Shows a header Get started with these voices, a one-line subtitle A selection of voices to try first, and a curated list of up to 6 voices that pass the active language, dialect, and filter selection.

When no voices match, the empty state reads No voices match your filters.

Explore renders only the Get Started list. The old “Tailored for your use case” gradient cards block and the use-case chip strip next to the language selector were both removed per product direction. They must not be reintroduced.

My Voices

Your custom voices. Cloned and designed voices made from your account both surface here. The list also passes through the active filters.

When you have not made any voices yet, the empty state reads You haven’t created any voices yet. with a brand-gradient Create your first voice button below it. Clicking it routes into the same Clone or Design picker as the Create A Voice button.

Favorites

Voices you have starred from any tab. Click the star on a voice row to add or remove it. Favorites are scoped to your account.

When the list is empty, the modal shows the same No voices match your filters. fallback.

All Voices

Every Wittify voice plus your custom voices, all in one list, after passing through the active filters and search.

When filters or search return nothing, the empty state reads No voices match your filters.

The voice row

Every row in the list looks the same regardless of tab. From the start edge to the end edge:

Element	What it shows or does
Avatar circle	A 40 px round tile with the voice’s first letter and a deterministic color tint generated from the voice id. The same voice always gets the same tint.
Voice name	The voice name (Arabic name when available in Arabic mode).
Gender pill	A small chip next to the name. Male in blue, Female in pink.
Country flag	A flag emoji (when the voice has a known dialect, hidden on small screens).
Select / Selected button	The action button. Reads Select when the voice is not active, Selected with a check mark and a brand-gradient background when it is.
Play / Stop button	A small square with a play triangle. Click to preview the voice with a built-in 140-character sample line (Arabic or English depending on UI language). The icon flips to a stop square while playing, and to a spinner while loading.
Star button	A star icon. Empty when the voice is not in your favorites, gold and filled when it is.

Sample line by language	Text
English	Hi there, this is a sample of my voice. I can read anything you send me.
Arabic	مرحباً، هذا مثال على صوتي. يمكنني قراءة أي نص تقدمه لي.

Click the play button on more than one row in a row. The earlier preview cancels automatically, you never end up with two voices speaking at once.

The Filters popover

Click Filters. A small popover opens on the end edge of the modal.

Section	What it shows	How it works
GENDER	Three radio chips: Any, Male, Female.	Pick one. Any is the default.
Clear filters link	Appears at the bottom-end edge of the popover when any filter is active.	Resets gender to default in one click.

A small numeric badge appears on the Filters button when gender is active (1 if not Any).

The picker does not have a separate Use Case filter. Use cases live inside the Clone Wizard’s Tags step, they are not a discovery filter on this surface.

The Language and Dialect chips

These are quick-narrow pills below the search row.

Language

The default value reads Language, with the 🌐 globe glyph. Click to open a popover with:

Inside the popover	Notes
Search input	Filters the list by English name, Arabic name, or language code. Up to 200 rows render at once.
Any row	First in the list, with the 🌐 glyph. Resets the language filter.
Per-language rows	Each shows a country flag, the language name (English or Arabic depending on UI language), and a small + badge on the end edge for languages with dialect lists.

Selecting a language resets the dialect to Any.

Dialect

The dialect chip only appears when the chosen language has a dialect list. Click to open a popover with:

Inside the popover	Notes
Any row	Default. Uses the parent language’s flag.
Per-dialect rows	Each shows the regional flag and the dialect name.

The catalog covers 51 clusters: Arabic (21 varieties), English (10 accents), Chinese (15 varieties), and 48 more clusters with 2 to 17 dialects each. Arabic and English are first in the macro list per product direction.

The Language and Dialect chips on the picker only narrow which voices show up. They do not change the language the voice will actually speak, that is set on the Studio’s right column or in the agent builder.

Picking a voice

Click Select on any row. The picker closes and the chosen voice replaces the previous one in the calling surface (Studio’s voice card, the agent builder’s voice slot, etc.). If you click Select on the voice that is already active, nothing changes, the picker just closes.

Creating a voice

Click Create A Voice on the tab bar (or Create your first voice in the empty My Voices tab). The picker closes and the Create a new voice dialog opens.

Card	Title	Description
Clone	Clone a voice	Upload or record a short sample. We will match tone, accent, and pacing. Opens the Clone Wizard.
Design	Design a voice	Describe how it should sound, and we will generate it from scratch. Opens the Design Wizard.

When the wizard finishes, the new voice is auto-selected on the calling surface and shows up in My Voices the next time you open this picker.

Provider routing

Voices are Wittify voices. The underlying provider is internal routing detail and never appears anywhere on a row. The avatar tint, the gender chip, and the country flag come from the voice itself, not from the provider.

The picker must never display provider names. The avatar’s color tint is derived from the voice id, the gender chip is derived from the voice’s gender field, and the flag (when present) is derived from the dialect, not the provider routing.

Common questions

The play button on a row went into a spinner and never finished.

The preview request is taking longer than usual. Click another row and the spinner cancels. If preview consistently hangs, the underlying voice provider is having a moment and a generation in Studio will likely fail too.

I cannot find a voice I created.

Look in the My Voices tab. If the voice is still in Training, it shows up but cannot be picked yet. Voices in Failed state still appear. Voices you have not made are not in My Voices, they are in All Voices.

Filters and Language chips give different results, why?

They are independent. Filters narrows by gender. Language and Dialect narrow by what the voice supports. A voice has to pass all three to appear in a tab.

I see voices listed in All Voices that did not show up under Explore. Explore is a curated short list (up to six voices). All Voices is the full catalog. If you want to see everything, go to All Voices.

The Search field finds the wrong voices.

The search matches name, Arabic name, and dialect code, all together. Add more specific words to narrow.

Can I share a voice link with a teammate?

Not from this picker. The voice picker is a tool for choosing a voice on your own session. Cross-account voice sharing is not supported today.

The picker keeps showing voices in a language I did not pick.

A voice with Multilingual support always passes the language filter. That is intentional — multilingual voices read most languages.
