Voice Training for Personalized Scripts
Overview
Voice training helps the Social Cascade Teleprompter app learn how you naturally speak, so drafted scripts match your tone, word choice and reading level. It's optional. You can do it during first-time onboarding or later in Settings.
Voice training affects drafted scripts only. It doesn't change captions.
Before You Start
- Allow Microphone and Speech Recognition access when the app asks.
- You can store up to 20 voice samples. Three or more give good results. More than that helps less.
How Your Voice Is Used
The app doesn't keep your voice recording. Your device's speech service turns what you say into text, and only that text is saved to personalize your scripts. The app shows this notice before you record.
How to Record a Voice Sample
- Open Settings and go to Voice Training, or reach the Voice Training step during onboarding.
- In Settings, tap the row to expand it. It's labeled Train Your Voice when you have no samples, Record Another Sample when you have one or two, and Record More (Optional) when you have three or more.
- Pick a suggested topic, or tap Write your own topic.
- Tap the microphone and speak naturally, as if you were explaining the topic to a patient or caregiver.
- Tap the microphone again to stop. The sample saves on its own, and you see how many words were captured.
Recording also stops on its own after about 3 minutes, or after 30 seconds without speech.
If you record the same topic again, the app asks Replace previous sample? Tap Replace to swap it, or Keep Both.
To remove a sample, tap the delete icon next to it in Settings.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Limit Reached" | You have 20 samples | Delete a sample you don't need, then record a new one. |
| Microphone or speech recognition error | Access is off, or the room is noisy | Open your device Settings → Teleprompter and turn on Microphone and Speech Recognition. Try again somewhere quieter. |
