Frequently Asked Questions about Voitrai
​
1. What is Voitrai and what is its primary function for radio stations?
Voitrai is a system designed to automate the creation of voice tracks for radio stations using AI technology. Its primary function is to allow radio station personnel to define DJ personalities, schedule their on-air "shifts," and provide prompts with specific information that the AI will use to generate natural-sounding voiceovers for various segments like news, weather, and transitions between songs. The core philosophy is "human curated AI generated," meaning humans provide the content and direction, while AI handles the voice delivery.
​
2. How do you add a virtual DJ to Voitrai?
To add a virtual DJ, you navigate to the "add DJ Voice" screen. Here, you can schedule the DJ's airtime, assign them an on-air name, and select a voice from your linked 11 Labs account (either standard, cloned, or professional). Importantly, you must have already integrated your 11 Labs API key into the global configuration for this voice selection to work.
​
3. How is the personality of a virtual DJ defined and utilized in Voitrai?
As the administrator, you have full control over defining a virtual DJ's personality. You can input specific traits, such as "a funny DJ with a great sense of humor who likes to tell Dad jokes" and even add specific likes, like "a love for chocolate." This personality description is provided to the AI model to help it generate voice tracks that reflect the desired character, adding variety and consistency to the station's on-air sound.
​
4. How are voice tracks actually generated in Voitrai? What is the role of "prompts"?
Voice tracks are generated based on "prompts" that you create within Voitrai. These prompts act as instructions for the AI model. You provide an opening or introduction, and crucially, you give the AI specific directions and content using built-in placeholders. For example, for a weather forecast, you would instruct the AI to "create a short weather forecast with the following information" and utilize a placeholder that automatically pulls in data from the National Weather Service. The AI then uses this information to write a script.
​
5. How does Voitrai ensure the accuracy and relevance of information like weather forecasts in voice tracks?
Voitrai prioritizes accuracy by feeding specific, up-to-date information to the AI model through placeholders. In the case of weather, the system pulls the full forecast for a designated region from the National Weather Service (NOAA) and the current temperature. This data is then provided to the AI (whether OpenAI or Gemini) to formulate the weather forecast script, ensuring the information is current and relevant.
​
6. What are "placeholders" in Voitrai prompts, and how are they used to automate content delivery?
Placeholders are built-in commands within Voitrai that automatically insert specific information into the prompt before it's sent to the AI for script generation. Examples include placeholders for the station name, station slogan, the previous artist and song title, the next artist and song title, and even public service announcements. This allows for dynamic and automated delivery of recurring on-air elements without manual typing for each voice track.
​
7. What is the difference between the "direction" box and the "tag" box in a Voitrai prompt?
​
The "direction" box in a Voitrai prompt is where you provide instructions and content for the AI model to generate a script. This is where the AI uses its language processing capabilities to create the voice track content based on your guidelines and the information from placeholders. The "tag" box, on the other hand, is read verbatim by the voice model exactly as it is written. This is useful for consistent closing remarks or other elements you want delivered without AI interpretation or rewriting.
​
8. Does Voitrai offer options for fully manual voice track creation, and how does this compare to its primary AI-driven approach?
Yes, Voitrai offers a "verbatim" mode. If you choose this option, you bypass the AI script generation process entirely and type out the complete text for each voice track in a designated box. While this provides full manual control, Voitrai is primarily designed for an AI-driven workflow ("AI mode") to automate voice track creation in the background, freeing up station personnel to focus on other strategic tasks like content programming and station development.
