Make Stream sound and respond the way you like. Choose its voice, decide when it talks back, and adjust your audio preferences.
Choose Stream's voice
Stream has four voices to choose from: Silica, Quartz, Garnet, and Inner Voice.
Inner Voice is a personalized voice created from your own, so Stream can sound a little more like you. To choose a voice or set up Inner Voice, open Settings → Voice → Inner Voice.
Tip: When recording your Inner Voice, use your iPhone's built-in microphone instead of headphones for the best results.
Choose whether Stream responds
With Chat on, Stream answers your questions out loud. With Chat off, Stream still saves notes and takes actions, and confirms them by voice.
Replies are part of Upstream. See Free and Upstream plans.
Turn Chat on or off: Tap the chat icon in the bottom-left corner, just above the Stream tab.
Choose when you hear Stream
Choose when Stream speaks out loud, whether through your headphones, a connected speaker, or the app itself.
To Change your Audio Output, go to Settings → Sound → Audio → Audio Output
Spoken responses will play through AirPods or any other Bluetooth connected speaker while your phone stays locked. You can also get quick replies to questions via notifications, without unlocking your phone.
Other audio settings
You can adjust a few other sound preferences in Stream iOS:
- Thinking Sound: Play a sound while Stream works on your reply, or turn it off.
- Auto-Pause Media: Choose whether Stream pauses music or podcasts while you hold your Ring to speak.
