Tutorial
Short, practical guides for getting the most out of Voxly.
Getting started: your first generated voice
Start with the language selector — it decides which voices you see. Pick the language your text is written in, then try two or three voices with the Preview button; voices differ a lot in warmth and pace. Type a short paragraph first, generate it, and listen. Once the voice feels right, turn on Speed or Pitch and nudge them in small steps: +10% speed suits energetic content, a slightly lower pitch often sounds more authoritative. For anything longer than a page, generate section by section and keep the same voice and settings so the parts blend.
How to use the break feature
Break markers insert exact silence into generated audio. Type [break:200ms] for a short beat, [break:1s] or [break:2s] for longer pauses — dramatic reveals, list items and scene changes all land better with air around them. Pressing Ctrl+B drops a [break:500ms] marker at your cursor. Markers never appear in the audio or the subtitles; you hear only the pause. A good rule of thumb: 300–600ms between sentences that change topic, 1–2 seconds between scenes. Note that Preview mode simply skips the markers, so judge final timing on the generated file.
A tour of the voice collection
Voxly's catalog holds 300+ neural voices across 75 languages, and each language offers several personalities — newsreader-flat, warm and conversational, bright and youthful. Names carry their region (Aria - US, Natasha - AU), and a few voices are multilingual, handling mixed-language text gracefully. Gender filtering and name search keep the list manageable. When in doubt, generate the same paragraph with three candidate voices and pick with your ears, not the names: the right voice depends on the material, not the label.
