Record Your Own Voice Reminder
Zangy plays a custom MP3 recording when it calls your phone. Record your voice directly in the browser or upload an existing file. A familiar voice is more effective for medication, eldercare, and family reminders than any AI voice.
Record In-Browser
Hit record in your browser. No external app or audio editor. Zangy captures clean audio and stores it for the call.
Upload MP3
Already have an audio file? Upload an MP3 from your phone or computer. Use a professional recording, a family message, or anything else.
Familiar Voice
Elderly parents, kids, partners — research shows familiar voices drive higher compliance than generic notifications.
Plays on Real Calls
When Zangy calls your phone, your recording plays. Not a notification, not a TTS bot — your actual voice.
Who Uses Custom Voice Reminders
Adult Children Caring for Parents
"Hi Mom, it's me. Don't forget your evening pills. Love you." — A daughter's voice is more comforting than any AI.
Parents Reminding Kids
Record "Time for piano practice!" once, schedule it every Tuesday. Kids respond to parent voices, not buzzes.
Caregivers & Home Health
Professional caregivers record patient-specific instructions once, deploy across multiple reminders for that patient.
Personal Productivity
Record yourself saying "Get up. Move. You committed to this." — your own voice as accountability partner.
Long-Distance Relationships
A partner abroad records a wake-up message. Their voice rings the phone every morning.
Why Your Voice Beats AI for Personal Reminders
AI voices have come a long way, but the human brain still distinguishes between synthetic and familiar speech. When an elderly patient hears their child's voice on the phone, the auditory cortex activates differently than when it hears a synthetic voice. The result: stronger memory encoding, higher compliance, more emotional response.
Use the AI voice for generic reminders (weather, appointments). Use your own voice for the ones that really matter (medication, care routines, family).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record a custom voice reminder?
Open Zangy, create a new reminder, and choose 'Voice' instead of 'Text'. You can record directly in the browser using your microphone or upload an existing MP3 file. The recording becomes the message played when Zangy calls your phone.
What audio formats does Zangy accept?
Zangy accepts MP3 uploads. Files are stored securely in Supabase Storage and played back when the scheduled phone call is placed. Maximum recording length depends on your reminder duration settings.
Why use a custom voice instead of AI text-to-speech?
Familiar voices create stronger emotional engagement. Elderly parents respond better to a child's voice than synthetic speech. Kids listen to parents. Patients trust caregivers. For high-stakes reminders, a personal recording is more effective than any TTS voice.
Can I reuse the same recording for multiple reminders?
Yes. Once uploaded, the audio file is attached to one reminder. To reuse, upload the same MP3 for each reminder — useful when you want the same opening greeting but different times of day.
Is my voice recording private?
Yes. All audio files are stored with row-level security in Supabase Storage. Only you and Zangy's call worker can access the file. Recordings are never shared with third parties or used to train AI.
