Voxta Chat
The conversation surface — type or speak, regenerate, inspect, navigate with shortcuts.
The Chat screen is where you actually talk with a character. Either type into the input bar or speak — Voxta listens, transcribes, generates a reply, and speaks it back. Emoji emoticons appear above the avatar based on the conversation tone.
Chat views
Voxta has multiple view modes for the chat. Switch between them anytime with the toggle in the chat header or via SelectView app trigger:
- Talk — voice-centric. Minimal UI, mostly just the active speaker.
- Portrait — avatar-focused. The character's image is prominent.
- Chat — full view with scrollable history, ideal for typing-heavy interactions.
The Chat view is the one you'll spend time in when you want detailed control. It exposes message regeneration, message editing, and message deletion — features that aren't in the simpler Talk/Portrait views.
Multi-character chats
When a scenario assigns multiple characters, Chat view + the Quick-access menu give you the cleanest "who said what" view. Each character speaks in turn, the scenario decides who replies next (or your script can force the turn with e.chatFlow()).
Chat Inspector
Click Show chat inspector in Chat view to open the inspector — Voxta's "what's the AI actually seeing right now?" panel. It's the single most useful debugging tool when something feels off.
The inspector has tabs for:
Context
The list of resolved contexts being injected into the current prompt. You can also temporarily add a context here — useful for testing "would the character mention this?" without editing the scenario.
Functions
The actions and triggers the AI could currently invoke. See what's available and what's filtered out by flags.
Memory
What summarization has captured from earlier in the chat. The AI sees these summaries to keep long conversations coherent.
Tools
Conversation utilities. The Auto Reply toggle is the big one — turn it on and Voxta auto-generates the next reply without your input. Useful for letting a story scenario run on its own without you having to prompt it.
Advanced
Session ID, chat ID, and other internal identifiers. Mostly useful when filing bug reports or correlating with logs.
