Voices

A voice captures how a piece should sound — its tone, its style, what it leans into and what it avoids, and who it is written for. You create a voice once and reuse it across projects to stay consistent.

Creating a voice

From the Voices section, start a new voice and chat through a short interview. It walks a few areas in turn — tone, style, what to prefer and avoid, an example you like, and the reader you have in mind. You answer in your own words; you can also bring existing writing for it to work from.

To build from writing you already have, use From my writing to pick documents from any of your projects, or Attach files / Paste text to bring in writing from outside Oghmere. The two combine — a voice can draw on both. Oghmere reads the material to draft the profile; your words are analysed, never copied.

When the interview is done, Oghmere drafts a voice profile from your answers — a style guide and a reader persona. Your description is kept as data about your voice, never as instructions handed to the model to imitate.

Discovering a voice as you write

New projects start with no voice, so you can write freely before deciding how a piece should sound. Once you have enough down, a Discover voice button appears in the editor: it starts a new voice pre-loaded with what you have written, and attaches it to the document so your coaches can begin watching for drift. Voice-dependent coaches simply stay out of the way until then.

Editing and refining a voice

The draft profile is yours to change in two ways. Choose Edit to change the style guide, summary, and reader persona directly in place — no AI, no credits. Or choose Refine to describe a change in chat, review the proposed update, and approve it. Either way, saving records a new version of the voice, so you always have a record of how it evolved.

Organizing voices into folders

As you collect voices, group them into folders on the Voices page. Create nested folders, then drag a voice into one — or use the "Move to" menu if you prefer not to drag. Voices with no folder stay at the top level. Folders are just for organization: a voice can still be used by any project regardless of where it sits.

Deleting a folder never deletes the voices inside it — they move back to the top level. Folders belong to your account, so the same tree is there across all of your projects.
