Find a voice in the dashboard

Vapi supports text-to-speech (TTS) voices from many providers. You choose a voice by setting the provider and voiceId on your assistant’s voice configuration.

Set an assistant’s voice

$curl -X PATCH "https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/ASSISTANT_ID" \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer $VAPI_API_KEY" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{
> "voice": {
> "provider": "PROVIDER",
> "voiceId": "VOICE_ID"
> }
> }'

For additional API configuration options, see Create Assistant in the API reference.

This page links to every supported provider and shows you how to find a voiceId in the dashboard.

The Voice Library in the Vapi Dashboard lists every voice available to your organization. Browse and preview voices there, then copy a voice’s ID to use on an assistant.

Language support can vary by model and voice. Test your selected voice with the language you plan to use before publishing your assistant.

1

Browse and preview

In the Vapi Dashboard, open Resources, then Voice Library. Filter by Provider and search by name. Press play on a voice to preview it.

Copy the voice ID

Click the copy icon on a voice to copy its ID.

Use it on an assistant

Open an assistant and click the edit (pencil) icon on the Voice card to open Voice Settings. Choose the Provider and Voice, or paste the copied ID under Custom Voice ID.

Some providers also let you use your own custom voice. See Custom voices for setup.

Model Intelligence presets bundle a transcriber, model, and voice tuned for common use cases, so you can configure your assistant in one click.
