feat: add Voice ID — Spoken Usernames for Sora Profiles #1
Description
🚀 New Feature: Voice ID — Spoken Usernames for Sora Profiles
Summary
Introduce Voice ID, a new Sora AI feature that gives every user a voice identity.
When someone visits a profile, Sora automatically (or optionally) speaks the username aloud — the way it’s meant to sound.
Problem
Sora’s community is global.
Usernames, stage names, and handles often come from different languages and cultures, making pronunciation unclear or inconsistent.
Without hearing it, visitors can’t always know how to correctly address or refer to someone — a small but real gap in personal connection.
Proposed Solution
Add Voice ID — an AI-driven pronunciation layer for profiles.
- Each user defines how their name should sound.
- They can record their own voice or generate one using Sora’s AI TTS engine.
- Visitors hear a brief, natural playback (≈ 1–2 seconds) when opening the profile.
- Settings:
- Auto-play or tap-to-play toggle
- Voice style / accent customization
- Volume and replay controls
Benefits
- Makes profiles more personal, expressive, and accessible
- Establishes Sora as the first platform with built-in audio identity
- Encourages cultural respect through correct pronunciation
- Strengthens brand and community identity via sound
Technical Notes
- Implementation can leverage the existing Sora AI TTS pipeline or local voice synthesis.
- Optional fallback to text-to-speech if user has not set a custom Voice ID.
