Mucka has a voice when you talk over chat audio, on the phone, or from the in-app mic. You pick which voice and accent Mucka uses, and your choice is just for you. Every person on your team picks their own, the owner's choice doesn't lock anyone else in.
Where to set it
Head to Settings → Your Mucka. The page has three steps:
- Pick a gender. Tap Male or Female. The default is male.
- Pick a UK accent. A map of the UK shows pickable regions (Cockney, Yorkshire, RP, Geordie, Welsh, Scottish, etc.). Tap one and Mucka plays a sample so you can hear it before saving.
- Optionally rename. If "Mucka" doesn't feel right, you can call it something else (up to 24 characters). Keep it sensible, you'll be saying it out loud all day.
Hit save and the new voice is live everywhere you talk to Mucka.
Why this is per-user
Voice is a personal preference. The owner might want RP, an engineer might want a Yorkshire voice that sounds like home. Mucka stores each user's pick separately.
The name you give Mucka is also per-user. You could call yours "Sandy" and Marcus could call his "Dave". Mucka responds to both names internally.
Where the voice shows up
Anywhere Mucka speaks:
- In-app voice chat when you tap the mic
- Phone calls when you ring Mucka's number, or Mucka rings you
- WhatsApp voice notes when Mucka replies with audio (we send text by default, voice notes are coming)
It does NOT change the text replies you read in the chat or on WhatsApp. Those are just words on screen.
Try before you save
Each accent tile plays a short sample on tap. Listen to a few before committing, regional accents can sound very different to how you imagine. There's also a replay button if you missed it.
Common gotchas
- Voice doesn't change immediately. If you save a new voice but the next call still uses the old one, end the current voice session and start a new one. Active conversations finish on the voice they started on.
- Custom name spelling. If you pick an unusual name and Mucka mishears it as something else when you say it out loud, try a phonetic spelling instead (e.g. "Saandy" instead of "Sandy" if the short A confuses the recogniser).
- Want a non-UK accent? Not in the regional map yet. The catalogue is currently UK-only since that's where we are. Let us know if you'd like Irish, American or anything else.
