What inline voice control makes possible
Advanced listeners, educators, and content creators sometimes need speech behavior to change at exact points in the text. Ordinary TTS settings screens cannot do that well.

Advanced Voice Control
Need to change voices, languages, or pauses inside the text itself?
Most text to speech apps give you one voice per document. @Voice goes further with annotation syntax that can change voices, define aliases, control pitch and speed, insert pauses, and support complex multilingual reading.

How @Voice reads instructions embedded in the text
@Voice supports inline voice annotations so the document can tell the app where to switch voice, language, speed, volume, or other reading behavior.
What @Voice already supports: The current voice annotation system supports alias definitions, voice changes, speed and pitch controls, pauses, selective silencing, and advanced multilingual or role-based reading patterns.
Basic workflow for annotated text
- Define the voices you want to use as aliases in the text or from the voice-definition helper inside @Voice.
- Insert annotation markers where you want speech behavior to change.
- Open or reopen the text in @Voice and listen with those voice instructions applied.
Power-user cases for voice annotations
Annotations matter when speech behavior needs to change at exact points instead of only at document boundaries.
- Use them for multilingual passages where a single voice or language is not good enough.
- Add pauses, pronunciation changes, and speed shifts directly in the source when you need consistent playback later.
- They are especially useful for demos, study material, and scripted reading that needs repeatable behavior.
Why annotations beat one-global-voice settings
- Useful for multilingual text, study materials, scripted demos, and custom listening experiences.
- Lets one document carry its own speech instructions instead of relying on memory.
- Can control more than just voice identity, including speed, pitch, and volume.
- Gives advanced users much finer control than typical TTS apps allow.
Common questions about Voice Annotations
Can @Voice switch languages inside one text?
Yes. Voice annotations can be used for multilingual reading and voice changes at specific points in the text.
Can I change language or voice in the middle of one document?
Yes. That is one of the clearest reasons to use the annotation syntax.
Can annotations adjust speed, pitch, and pauses too?
Yes. They can control more than voice identity alone.
Do I have to edit the raw text manually?
Advanced users often do, but @Voice also includes helpers and related tools that make the system easier to use.
Can I install it without Google Play?
Yes. Use the direct APK from Hyperionics.
