How to change Google Voice Assistant voice on Android?


Have you ever wondered why you need to stay put with the default voice on Google Assistant? Are you checking out the options for changing the Google Voice Assistant on Android? Well, here are a few options that should be helpful enough for you.

When it started off, Google Assistant came with one single voice. Later on, it switched to two voices. Of course, it has now expanded itself to include many more voices. But, how would you change between the different voices on the platform? That should indeed be an easier task in itself.

Google Assistant - What are the voice options available?


Well, Google Assistant has been one of the useful and excellent tools. But, the robotic voice that it comes with can be quite boring and something that does not provide you with a homey feeling. That is exactly where the option of changing and experimenting with different voice options can prove to be effective and efficient.

Google Assistant provides you with several options to choose your voice preferences. Like we said above, Google Assistant came with just one voice. It went on to get two voices. During Google I/O in 2018, it went on to get six additional voices. Then two more other options were added recently.

Changing between the voices may be a little difficult. In fact, Google offers you separate interfaces for your Android phone and Google Home. That makes it a little complicated to find the voices and change it. However, the Home app on Android has now been refreshed, and that is where it has become more comfortable and straightforward to change the voice for Google Voice Assistant on your Android. In fact, changing it on Google Home will let you reflect it on your Android device.
