Voice default applies to all automation-activate numbers

Changing the default voice updates the voice assigned to all automation-activated phone numbers that are currently using the default. Phone numbers with individually assigned voices are not affected.

Assign voices to phone numbers

The Assign Voices to your phone numbers section displays a list of phone numbers configured for Voice AI automation for each available Channel. Each row shows:

  • Channel name – The label assigned to the phone number

  • Phone number – The E.164-formatted number (e.g., +1 201-559-5555).

  • Voice dropdown – The AI voice currently assigned to that number.

Change the voice for a specific phone number

  1. Locate the phone number row you want to update.

  2. Click the voice dropdown on that row (shows the currently assigned voice name).

  3. Select a voice from the dropdown list.

  4. The selection saves automatically.

Missing phone number

Only phone numbers configured for Voice AI automation appear in this list. If a number is missing, verify that automation is enabled for it under Phone Number Setup.

Pronunciation Dictionary (coming soon)

The Pronunciation Dictionary section lets Administrators teach Gladly AI how to correctly pronounce words that it might otherwise mispronounce, such as brand names, product names, or industry-specific terms. The Pronunciation Dictionary applies globally to all automation-activated phone numbers.

Add a word

  1. In the Terms section, enter the word as it is written in the Word field (e.g., Retale).

  2. In the Phonetic spelling field, spell out how the word should be pronounced (e.g., Re-tall-ay).

  3. Optionally, click Play pronunciation to preview how the AI will say the word with the phonetic spelling applied.

  4. Click outside the fields to save it.

  5. Click + Add word to add another word and a new empty row appears so you can add additional terms.
