🎙️ Selecting Your Voice in Heron
How to choose the voice that answers your clinic’s phone calls
When Heron answers incoming calls on behalf of your clinic, it uses a synthetic voice to greet and guide patients. To help make the experience feel natural and aligned with your clinic’s style, Heron lets you select from a range of preloaded voices — and adjust how fast they speak.
🔊 Why Voice Matters
The voice patients hear sets the tone for their interaction with your clinic. Some clinics prefer a warm and friendly voice, while others may opt for a more neutral and professional tone. Heron gives you the flexibility to choose what fits best.
