# Voice

Account-wide voice settings shared across every agent, including pronunciations that control how words are spoken and recognized.

Voice settings apply across all your agents. Configure them at [**Settings > Voice**](https://app.spara.co/settings/voice).

## Pronunciations

On the [**Settings > Voice**](https://app.spara.co/settings/voice) tab, you can add custom pronunciations that apply to every Voice agent in your account. Each entry serves two purposes:

* **Controls how the agent speaks the word.** The pronunciation drives text-to-speech, so "SQL" → "sequel" or "kubectl" → "kube control" make the agent say specialty terms correctly.
* **Strengthens how the agent hears the word.** The source term is also added to the speech-to-text key term list, biasing recognition toward that word. This is especially helpful for specialty terms that sound like common English words. For example, mapping "Paychex" → "Paychecks" both makes the agent pronounce the product correctly and helps the model transcribe "Paychex" instead of "Paychecks" when a caller says it.

Add an entry for any product name, person name, acronym, or industry term that voice agents need to say or hear reliably. Pronunciations apply org-wide to every Voice agent. There is no per-agent override today.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use phonetic spelling: spell the word the way it should sound, and use spaces to separate syllables or letters (for example, "A P I" for the acronym "API").

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.spara.com/platform/settings/voice.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
