Distinguish microphone input from reply playback
Dictation, also called speech-to-text, turns your speech into written input. Use the microphone control and allow browser microphone access; our support instructions note reliable permission handling in Chrome. Text-to-speech works in the other direction, presenting a written response as audio.
A reply's play button reads generated dialogue rather than connecting you to a human speaker. These input and playback features are not live voice calls, and their controls should not be taken to mean that every account includes a microphone-based calling feature.
Set the voice before trying a long response
I'm All In includes text-to-speech. From the chat menu, use Set Voice or Voice Settings to select the voice, and check Include Narration if you want descriptive passages read aloud. These voice settings apply globally. Missing controls are a reason to check the active account and subscription first.
Test a short passage to hear whether its delivery fits the character. A restrained voice may suit understated dialogue, while a more expressive reading may fit a lively scene. Punctuation and paragraph breaks can also improve how the same text sounds.
Trace a silent reply through your audio settings
If the text arrived but you hear nothing, check the chosen output device, volume and whether the browser tab is muted. Reply generation and sound playback are separate parts of the experience; a silent player does not necessarily mean the chat service has stopped working.
Headphones can keep playback private. Respect the rights and consent of real people, and do not use audio to impersonate someone without permission. We apply our community rules to audio as well as images and text.
Questions
What can I do with SpicyChat audio controls?
With I'm All In, text-to-speech reads character replies aloud and lets you select a voice. Speech-to-text is separate: it uses microphone permission to turn what you say into message text.
Does an available voice mean someone is performing the character?
No. Audio playback voices an AI-generated response. A voice badge identifies an audio feature, not a real person speaking to you live.
