- We have discovered a new voice selection feature in the Google app version 15.24.28.29.arm64 beta.
- This feature appears to allow users to select between two new voices, Ruby and River.
- It is uncertain if these voices will be specific to Gemini or shared with Google Assistant.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
Notably, the Google app features separate settings for its two digital assistants: Google Assistant and Gemini. Google Assistant’s settings already offer a voice selection option with a total of 12 voices. In contrast, the Gemini settings lack any such option at this time.
This new voice selection feature is currently located under the general settings rather than specifically within the Gemini section. Therefore, we can’t say for sure whether these new voices are Gemini-specific or represent a broader simplification of the voice selection process across both assistants.
It’s very likely that if Gemini is getting voice selection, it won’t be limited to two voices for long. OpenAI has already showcased ChatGPT 4o’s vocal prowess, even facing controversy when one of its voices bore a striking resemblance to Scarlett Johansson.
