Voice Cloning
What it is
Section titled “What it is”Voice cloning lets the live translation be spoken in your speaker’s own voice. Instead of Glossa’s standard AI voice, your congregation hears the translated message in a voice that carries the pastor’s own vocal character, so his presence comes through even in another language.
Which plan includes it
Section titled “Which plan includes it”Voice cloning is included on the Advanced and Premium plans. It is the only feature that differs between plans: embedding, webhooks, the API, OBS and ProPresenter integrations and all languages are on every plan, including Pay As You Go. If you would like to hear it before upgrading, write to info@glossa.live and we can switch it on for 3 days on any plan.
Why churches use it
Section titled “Why churches use it”The default translation voice is natural and clear, but it does not carry the speaker’s tone or pitch. Voice cloning preserves those characteristics, so the translated audio feels personal and familiar rather than like a neutral narrator. For many congregations, hearing something close to their own pastor’s voice helps the message land with more warmth.
Setting it up
Section titled “Setting it up”There are two parts: creating your custom voice once, then selecting it for a service.
Part 1: Create your custom voice
Section titled “Part 1: Create your custom voice”- Go to the Account tab.
- Open Settings.
- Find the Voice Management subsection.
- Record a 30 second audio sample, then create your custom voice.
Part 2: Use your voice in a service
Section titled “Part 2: Use your voice in a service”- On the service streaming page, before you start the stream, open Advanced Settings (just below the Start Streaming button).
- Go to the Voice Management tab.
- Select your newly created voice.
- Open View Translation to listen and confirm the translation is playing in your custom voice.
Once selected, your translation will play in that voice for the service.
Tips for the best result
Section titled “Tips for the best result”- Record your 30 second sample in a quiet space with clear, natural speech. The cleaner the sample, the better the voice.
- Preview with View Translation before your service begins, so you know it sounds the way you want.
- Voice cloning changes the voice of the translation only. It does not change what Glossa can transcribe, so sung worship music still cannot be captured, the same as with the standard voice.
Frequently asked
