Common errors and fixes
- Personal Google Voice won't accept an MP3
Personal accounts only support in-app recording. Either record via the app while playing the MP3 from a speaker, or upgrade to Google Workspace Voice for direct upload.
- Greeting sounds quiet on Workspace Voice
Re-export from our generator with normalization enabled. Google Voice does not boost volume server-side.
- "File rejected" on Workspace upload
Confirm the file is mono MP3 at 8 or 16 kHz. Stereo files are rejected silently. Our generator defaults to a Google-Voice-compatible format.
