Alexa: Change voice - how it works

Amazon's smart voice assistant Alexa answers user questions with a female voice. But can you also change them? We'll tell you this in this practical tip.

Alexa: Unfortunately, voice cannot be changed

Unfortunately, you have not been able to miss another voice for Alexa. Not even the voice assistant's voice position can be changed, so that you have to make do with the existing voice.

• Although it is technically possible for Amazon to deliver additional voices at a later date, it is probably not. After all, the voice assistant would lose a characteristic feature.
• However, it is conceivable that there will be unofficial ways to change Alexa's voice in the future. So far this has not been possible either. As soon as something changes here, we will inform you on this page.

Voice Assistant: Some skills use different voices

Alexa's voice cannot be changed directly, but various skills use other speakers.

• You can still provide variety by installing certain skills - provided that they use their own voices or speakers.
• Examples of this are the news skills Tagesschau in 100 seconds or ZDFheute Xpress as well as the official skill of the sports show.
