## What is Voice Designer?

Voice Designer is Meetzy's AI-powered tool for creating custom voices. Instead of choosing from the existing catalog, you can describe the exact voice characteristics you want, and the system generates multiple options for you to choose from.

  Voice Designer uses advanced AI to create unique voices based on your text description.
