JanitorAI Voice Setup Tutorial: Step-by-Step AISpeaker Installation (2025 Latest)

Introduction: Why Does JanitorAI Need a Voice Plugin?

JanitorAI is one of the most popular AI role-playing platforms today, attracting millions of users. However, like Character.AI, the native platform lacks voice narration functionality, meaning users can only interact through text. This "silent dialogue" significantly reduces immersion—imagine communicating with a vivid character but only seeing text scrolling on the screen without any audio feedback, like watching a silent movie that lacks emotional tension.

This tutorial will guide you step-by-step through installing and using the AISpeaker plugin, making your AI characters truly "speak," enhancing the realism and enjoyment of role-playing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, this guide will help you get started easily.
