We are introducing Voicemails, a major new feature for our AI texting apps that lets supported figures respond beyond the chat bubble. Across the Text With apps, you can ask for a voice message during a conversation, or turn an existing text reply into audio and hear it in that figure’s own voice.
TL;DR: Voicemails let you request spoken messages from supported figures in Text With Jesus, Text With History, and Text With Authors. They are organized, searchable, and never expire. Free credits are available for everyone to try, Premium subscribers receive 30 Voicemail credits each month, and more supported figures are being added over time.
What Are Voicemails?
Voicemails work like voice messages on your phone: you ask a supported figure to leave a message, then listen whenever you want. Each supported figure has a distinct voice and personality, so the message feels closer to a personal note than a standard text-to-speech reading.
The feature is designed for moments when reading is not enough. A blessing, encouragement, historical reflection, study prompt, or literary note can feel different when it is spoken aloud. Instead of replacing chat, Voicemails add another layer to it.
You can use Voicemails in two ways:
- Request a new voice message from a supported figure during a chat.
- Convert an existing text reply into a Voicemail and listen to it later.
Once created, your Voicemails are organized in the app, searchable, and never expire, so you can return to a favorite message whenever you want.
Where Can You Try Them?
Voicemails are available across the Text With family where supported figures have voice support enabled. That includes experiences in Text With Jesus, Text With History, and Text With Authors, with more figures being added over time.
Each app uses Voicemails a little differently because each app has a different kind of conversation:
| App | How Voicemails Help |
| Text With Jesus | Hear reflective messages, encouragement, and spiritual guidance. |
| Text With History | Listen to historical figures explain decisions, events, and context. |
| Text With Authors | Hear literary figures discuss writing, interpretation, and craft. |
If a figure supports Voicemails, the app will show the option while you are chatting. If the option is not available for a figure yet, check back later as support expands.
You can also hear before you ask. Each figure with Voicemails enabled has a voice preview button on the app page, so you can quickly play a short sample and get a feel for the voice before starting a conversation or spending credits.
Why We Built Voicemails
Voice changes the feel of a conversation. Reading a reply is fast and useful, but hearing a message can make a moment more memorable, especially when the conversation is personal, reflective, or tied to a character whose voice you can imagine.
For faith conversations, Voicemails can make a short reflection easier to revisit during the day. For history, they can make a figure’s perspective feel more immediate. For literature, they can make a passage, writing prompt, or author insight feel closer to a spoken classroom moment.
The goal is simple: keep the control and convenience of chat, while adding the warmth of audio when it helps.
How Voicemail Credits Work
All users receive free credits to try Voicemails. Premium subscribers receive 30 free Voicemail credits every month as part of their subscription, and users who want more can buy additional credit packs directly in the app.
Requesting a new Voicemail and converting an existing text message both use Voicemail credits. One credit creates one Voicemail, whether you request it from scratch or generate it from an existing reply. That keeps the feature flexible: you can ask for a message in the moment, or wait until a reply stands out and convert it afterward.
Your saved Voicemails remain available after they are created. They are organized and searchable in the app, and they do not expire.
Practical Ways To Use Voicemails
Voicemails are most useful when you want to save, replay, or step away from the screen. They are not just a novelty; they can turn a quick chat answer into something you carry with you and find again later.
Try using them for:
- A morning reflection from a spiritual figure in Text With Jesus.
- A study recap from a historical figure in Text With History.
- A writing prompt from a favorite author in Text With Authors.
- A saved explanation you want to replay before a class, meeting, or commute.
- A converted reply that felt especially helpful, memorable, or comforting.
Because Voicemails can be requested or converted, you do not have to decide in advance which answers matter. Keep chatting naturally, then turn the best moments into audio when you want to revisit them.
What Comes Next
Voicemails will continue expanding to more figures across the Text With apps. We are starting with supported voices where the experience feels strongest, with the goal of eventually bringing Voicemails to every figure.
You can preview voice samples on the app pages now. Look for the play button on each Voicemail-enabled figure.
Open your app, start a conversation with a supported figure, and try requesting a Voicemail. The next message you save might be one you listen to, not just one you read.
