Google tests the voice customization function of Gemini, adding four new adjustment options such as speed and vitality. Google is developing a new voice customization function for Gemini, allowing users to adjust the voice performance of the AI assistant through multiple parameters. According to code analysis of the beta version of the Google application, Google plans to launch a voice control menu containing four sliders for "speed, energy, formality, and intimacy" to allow users to more precisely shape the communication style of Gemini. This feature was discovered by the 9to5Google team in the Google application 17.41.12 beta APK. The relevant code shows that users will not be limited to preset voice options in the future, but can change the voice personality of Gemini through the sliding adjuster. Customized settings are expected to be applied to both Gemini Live real-time conversation mode and normal chat scenarios. Among them, the "Speed" option provides three adjustments: slow, normal, and fast, which are used to control the pace of AI reply; "Vitality", "Formality" and "Friendliness" mainly affect the voice expression method, helping users adjust the assistant style according to different scenarios. For example, users can reduce the formality and increase the intimacy, making Gemini more suitable for easy communication such as travel planning; they can also increase the formality for professional scenarios such as research and analysis. This upgrade reflects Google’s direction to improve the naturalness of AI interactions. Previously, the company has been developing voice support capabilities based on regional dialects, hoping to further enhance the localization performance of voice assistants. As competition for mobile AI assistants intensifies, Apple has also added Siri-related customization options in iOS 27, allowing users to adjust speech speed and expression effects. However, Google this time focuses more on AI personification and emotional expression, enhancing the conversation experience through dimensions such as "vitality" and "intimacy". The industry believes that the future development of voice assistants depends not only on understanding capabilities, but also on emotional adaptation capabilities in interaction. By providing more refined voice control, AI assistants are expected to reduce the sense of distance caused by mechanized communication and get closer to the natural human-machine communication mode. via AI News (author: AI Base)
