Voice Tip Settings

Supertip Voice Tips let your viewers purchase text-to-speech audio tips using customized speaker voices. To open your Voice Tips settings, go to the Creator Dashboard and select Settings > Voice Tips.

Voice tip settings

Speaker Management

You can enable and disable the speakers available to viewers using the toggle next to each speaker’s image and name. This works for both the default speakers and any custom speakers you have added to Your Speaker Slots.

To open Speaker Management, go to the Creator Dashboard and select Settings > Voice Tips.

Custom Speakers

Your Supertip account comes with three speaker slots where you can create your own custom speakers. You can buy more slots by selecting the Purchase Additional Slot button.

To open Your Speaker Slots, go to the Creator Dashboard and select Settings > Voice Tips.

To create a new custom speaker:

1. Select the Create Speaker button in the Custom Speakers section.
2. Enter a name for your speaker in the Speaker Name text box.
3. Select Upload a profile photo and choose the image you want to represent your speaker. This image is used as an avatar for the speaker.
4. Drag the cropping area to select the part of the image you want to use, then select Apply Crop.
5. Select Upload voice sample and locate the MP3 audio file for the voice you want to create.
6. Select the Save button.

Note

A clear, high-quality sample is essential for an accurate voice clone. The sample should contain natural speech patterns, varied emotion, and clear pronunciation. Do not use samples that contain other people’s voices (for example, from a conversation). The MP3 file cannot be larger than 10MB, which is roughly five to ten minutes of audio.

Note

New speakers must be approved by the Supertip team. Once a speaker is approved, you can enable it in Speaker Management. Approvals are typically made within 24 hours.

Editing Your Speakers

Once a speaker has been created and approved, you can control aspects of the speaker’s voice and update its display settings. To open the Edit Speaker settings, scroll to the bottom of the Voice Tips page and select the Edit Speaker button under the speaker you want to edit in the Your Speaker Slots section.

Basic Information

Speaker Name — Use this text box to update the name and description of the selected speaker.

Speaker Parameters

The following settings fine-tune how your speaker reads text. They do not change how the speaker sounds — they change how fast it reads and how clear and expressive it is.

Parameter	What it does
Speed	Use the slider to adjust how fast the speaker reads the text entered by the viewer.
Stability	Use the slider to adjust the emotional range and consistency of the audio, from monotone (high stability) to highly expressive (low stability).
Similarity	Use the slider to adjust how closely the voice matches the original voice sample you used.
Style Exaggeration	Use the slider to adjust the emotional inflection, tone, and unique characteristics of the voice, making it more dramatic or expressive.

Tip

Use the Generate Sample button to fine-tune how your settings affect your speaker’s voice.

Generate Sample Speech

The Generate Sample Speech tool lets you hear how your speaker sounds.

1. Enter the text you would like the speaker to say in the Sample Text box.
2. Select the Generate Sample button.
3. The sample audio is generated and plays automatically. To hear it again, select the play button under Speaker Sample.

Note

The text you enter here is also available to viewers as a preview of what a speaker sounds like.

Speaker Image

The Speaker Image acts as an avatar for your speaker. It appears on your Supertip page for viewers to select when using voice tips.

To change your speaker’s image:

1. Select Change Image.
2. Select the image file you want to use for your speaker.
3. Drag the cropping area to select the part of the image you want to use, then select Apply Crop.

Once you have made all your updates, select the Save button to keep your changes.

Deleting Speakers

You can delete the selected speaker by selecting the Delete button. The speaker is removed from Your Speaker Slots and that slot becomes available again for a new voice.

Danger

Deleting a speaker is permanent. The speaker is removed from Your Speaker Slots and cannot be recovered — you would need to create and re-submit the speaker for approval to use it again.
