# How do I save and reuse character voices across scripts?

|| 📝 NOTE: This article describes the save voices workflow in **Scriptation 6.0 and later**, where voices are saved from the Playback Mode Voices panel. If you're on **5.1.16 or earlier**, voices are saved from the Voices sidebar within Read, Rehearse, or Record Mode — see [What is Rehearse Mode?](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-rehearse-mode-107qb0c/) for the walkthrough.

Once you've assigned voices to the characters in your script, you can save those assignments so they're ready to apply the next time you open a script with the same characters. Useful for TV shows with recurring characters, franchise films, or any time you don't want to reassign the same voices from scratch.

|| 📝 NOTE: Saved Voices is an [Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/) feature.

| ✅ TIP: Saved Voices works the same way for [AI Voices](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-use-premium-ai-voices-for-playback-zic7cr/) and your device's built-in basic voices — same save flow, same reuse flow.

### Saving Your Voices

1. With your Voices panel open, **touch** or **click** the **three-dot menu** (**⋯**) in the top-right corner;

2. Choose **Save voices**. The Save Voices view opens with a list of every character;

3. By default, every character with a voice currently assigned is checked. Uncheck any you don't want to save;
4. **Touch Save** to save your selections.

Scriptation will match saved voices to characters by name, so the next time you open a script that includes any of these characters, their saved voice is applied automatically.

### Reviewing and Editing Saved Voices

To view, edit, or delete your saved voices, open the main **Playback Settings** and go to **Playback** → **Saved Voices**. The Saved Voices page groups your voices into **Current Script** and **Other Characters** sections.

|| 📝 NOTE: The main **Playback Settings** is the gear icon in the top-right corner of the **Playback** window — not the gear inside a character's voice page (which only adjusts that character's Speaking Rate and Volume).

To open any voice and adjust its settings, **touch** the character's name. Use the back caret (`<`) to return to the Saved Voices list when you're done.

### Syncing Updates to Saved Voices

If you change a character's voice settings in a script after they've been saved, Scriptation flags the saved version as out of sync.

A **blue triangle** appears next to characters whose current settings don't match their saved settings. To update the saved version with your current settings, **touch** the **Sync** icon next to the voice name in the Voices list (or at the top-left of the character's voice selection page).

### Deleting a Saved Voice

1. Open **Saved Voices** (**Playback Settings** → **Playback** → **Saved Voices**);
2. **Touch** the **three-dot menu** (**⋯**) at the upper right and choose **Delete**;
3. **Touch** the **red circle** to the left of the voice you want to delete, then **touch** the **red Delete** button to confirm;
4. **Touch** **OK** to return to the Saved Voices panel.
