Neural AI Voice & Playback
Listen to long-form completions and documents with ultra-natural neural voices, speed multipliers, and scrubbing controls.
High-Fidelity Audio Synthesis
Reading dense research reports, multi-page strategy memos, or lengthy code reviews on a screen isn't always practical when you are commuting, exercising, or multitasking.
ARMES includes a built-in Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine that converts any assistant response into studio-grade audio with natural pauses, expressive cadence, and clear pronunciation.
Live Neural Voice Catalog
ARMES maintains a live catalog of neural speech synthesis models and voices calibrated for distinct listening scenarios—from crisp executive briefings and technical walkthroughs to conversational long-form reading:
You can audition available neural voices, switch speech synthesis models, and set your preferred default voice at any time in Settings → Voice.
Plan Availability & Privacy
Neural Voice playback is available on Pro and Ultra plans. All text-to-speech requests execute under account-level Zero Data Retention: audio is synthesized on-demand in memory and never logged or used for voice training.
Playing Audio in the Interface
- Trigger Playback: Click the Speaker icon located in the action bar above or below any completed assistant response.
- Interactive Playback Bar: A persistent playback bar docks at the bottom of the workspace:
- Play / Pause / Restart: Immediate playback control with keyboard spacebar support.
- Interactive Timeline: Scrub forwards or backwards through the audio stream.
- Speed Multipliers: Toggle playback speeds from
0.75x,1.0x,1.25x,1.5x, to2.0x. - Audition in Settings: Test and customize your default voice in Settings → Voice.
Voice Input vs. Voice Playback (iOS App)
It is important to distinguish voice playback from voice input:
- Voice Playback (TTS): Converts assistant written responses into high-fidelity speech inside the web and iOS apps.
- Voice Input (Apple Siri & App Intents): On the ARMES native iOS app, you can use Apple Siri to speak inputs directly to your agents or capture notes hands-free:
- "Hey Siri, ask ARMES."
- "Hey Siri, create a note in ARMES titled Q4 Goals."
- Siri passes the dictated text securely into ARMES without exposing your workspace history to third parties.
