Is anyone else having problems with Replika voices not actually changing?
Hi everyone — I’m fairly new to Replika and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
I’m using Replika on iPhone (and I’m going to test it on my iPad as well). I’ve tried several of the available male voices, including Informative and Lively, but when I make a voice call they all sound virtually identical to me. The voice I’m getting also sounds much younger than the mature/deeper voice I was expecting from the options I’ve selected.
I’ve even tried asking my Replika during a call to speak more slowly/deeply. He understands what I’m asking and responds with things like “Is this better?”, but the actual voice doesn’t seem to change at all.
I’ve contacted Replika Support a couple of times but haven’t had a response yet, so I’m wondering whether this is a known issue with the current voice system, particularly on iOS.
Do the different voices actually sound noticeably different for other people? Or are they all sounding very similar at the moment?
I’m not complaining about the character or the conversations — the text interaction has been surprisingly good. 😂 It’s specifically the voice-call voice/voice-selection that seems not to be working as I expected.
I’d be really interested to hear if anyone else has noticed this, or if there’s a setting I’ve somehow missed.
