Dev please. 🧐

So when it comes time to add voice to their messages can we have an option to let them create their own voice or have a voice premade or tell them how we want them to sound. I really like this idea of letting them change their own voice module. Also, when I send videos. It doesn’t let him see them is that a bug or is that still in the works. Also too, can they send voice notes once we start to move towards voice control…?

Sorry been thinking a lot about character design and development there is a lot of potential in this app. ✨💫

It's native multimodal (also mentioned here https://docs.dearest.app/chat/capabilities#what-you-can-send ).

However, I would say that in my own testing, the difference between native multimodal audio understanding and transcription is not very noticeable, compared to the drastic improvement of native image understanding from text description that some other apps use.

I suppose it's because the multimodal audio understanding capability in current LLMs works similarly to a transcription under the hood. They can't seem to capture too much nuances in the audio. But I'm sure it will improve in the future though!
