Everything about the board lives here. This device stays logged in for 90 days at a time.

β–Ά Open his page

Open that link once on his phone and the device stays logged in for 90 days at a time... after that he just goes to raysvoice.app. Add it to his home screen for a full-screen app feel. Keep THIS helper link private.

πŸ’Œ His invite

A warm page that explains the whole thing in big friendly type... what it is, how it works, what stays private... with ONE gold button that turns it on. Nothing for him to type. Text him this:

πŸ” Your easy admin door: raysvoice.app/admin

No more long links. Go to raysvoice.app/admin from anywhere. On a device you've already used, it walks you straight in. On a new one, it asks for a passcode you set here. Pick something only you know (a word or a few numbers, at least 4 characters).

No passcode yet... set one and raysvoice.app/admin works from any device.

🧬 Train his voice from old recordings

Upload clips of him talking, from back when the words came easy... old videos are perfect. Best clips: only HIS voice, little background noise, one to three minutes total. Videos get their audio pulled out and cleaned automatically.

πŸ“’ The family voice drive

One easy address for the WHOLE family... text it, or just say it out loud: raysvoice.app/recordings. Anyone can open it, put in their name, and upload old videos or voicemails with his voice. Everything lands right here, cleaned and tagged.

⏱ Total clean audio: 84 seconds. It works, but keep going... 3 to 5 minutes (180 to 300s) of varied, clean audio is where the voice truly becomes him.

🧩 Variety: 3 of 6 captured. Still hunting: πŸ˜‚ A real laugh, caught on tape Β· πŸ“– A good long story (45s in one go) Β· πŸ’πŸ‡ Excited talk AND calm talk

Short on footage? Every family portal now has a "Help train his voice" card... ask everyone to dig through their camera rolls, old voicemails from him, birthday toasts, anything. Their uploads land right here with their name on them.

πŸ” Made a better voice? Refresh his buttons

This redoes his saved buttons (the ones you and he created... Yes, No, I love you, and any you've added) in his current voice. That's usually a handful, so it's quick.

The hundreds of ready-made sayings in his πŸ” Find tab are NOT buttons... each one is made the first time it's tapped and, from now on, always uses his current voice automatically. So after you re-clone, you don't have to do anything for those... they refresh themselves on the next tap. Just tap this to update his saved buttons:

πŸ’Œ Your message on his invite

A personal recording from you, played front and center on his invite page... tell him why you made this for him. Record it right here, or upload one.

Your current message

Recording a new one replaces this one.

πŸ–Ό A photo behind it (makes it a keepsake he'll treasure)

He can SAVE your message to his phone from the invite... as a video, so it lands in his Photos and never gets lost. Add a photo here (you, you and him, an old favorite of him) and that video becomes the photo with a slow gentle zoom and your voice over it. No photo? It stays a warm card with your voice as a moving waveform. JPG or PNG works best.

βš™οΈ His voice

🏷 This board's name

Shows as the page title, the heading on his page, his home-screen app name, and the "whose voice" name everywhere (the first word becomes "Ray" on the drive and follow pages).

Paste the ElevenLabs voice id of his cloned voice (made in Vid Studio Pro with the 🧬 button). One time only.

βœ” Voice is set.

πŸ’³ His own ElevenLabs account (optional)

Simplest setup, and the plan: his card goes on the MAIN ElevenLabs account and he covers the monthly plan... he pays for his own voice, you run everything, nothing to paste here. This box is only for the fancier option: a second ElevenLabs account just for him... paste that account's API key and this board bills it instead. Leave empty to keep it simple.

πŸ“Š Check the exact ElevenLabs usage for this key ➜

πŸ€– His own Anthropic (Claude) key for the AI helpers (optional)

The AI helpers... Listen auto-replies, "Say it simpler," Visit conversations... run on Claude (Anthropic). Paste a key from a SEPARATE Anthropic account here and that usage bills there, cleanly apart from your other projects. Leave empty and it rides your main account key like now.

πŸ’³ This month's spend

β‰ˆ $0.00 so far in September 2026

0 characters spoken Β· 0 AI tokens. This is an estimate from the rates below... your ElevenLabs and Anthropic dashboards are the exact source of truth (dedicated keys above make each one show only his usage).

πŸ“§ When the estimate crosses your limit, you get ONE email that month, so you'll know if it's time to have him chip in. Nothing shuts off... it just tells you.

Voice (ElevenLabs) is nearly always the bigger cost; the AI replies are tiny. Tune the per-1k rates to match your plan so the estimate tracks reality.

🌸 Who this voice is (for Visits)

How they talk, what they call people, what they love... written by the family. When someone visits this voice for a conversation, this is who answers.

🌸 The Visit tab (a connected voice)

Connect a second board... Heather's Voice... and a 🌸 Visit tab appears on his talking page: private conversations in her voice, nothing ever saved. Three things turn it on: her board exists, her voice is trained, and the two are connected.

One tap. Then her board gets its own admin where you upload recordings of HER and create her voice... same as you did for him.

🌐 This board's domain

The address this board answers to (raysvoice.app, heathersvoice.app...). Keyless pages like /recordings use it to find the right board when there is more than one.

πŸ‘₯ His people

Family and friends. Each one gets name chips in his builder and recorder, their own "Talk to..." buttons, a private portal, and their own page. He can add people himself from his Talk to... tab, by voice. Emails are optional... they are only for delivering his messages one day, nothing else.

🏠 Mark the caregiver (Mom). Tap 🏠 Make caregiver on her row and she gets a code-free door: raysvoice.app/care opens her own page with nothing to type and the walk-through ready. That's the one link to text her.

🌍 His public follow page

A page for EVERYONE who knows and loves him... no key, no login. The family posts updates about how he's doing; anything he records with the 🌍 option lands there in his own voice. People can follow by email, and locals can raise a hand to help. The address is one you can say out loud:

✍️ Post an update

πŸ’› Followers (0)

Nobody yet... share the link above and they'll show up here.

πŸ– = they offered to help. Nobody joins the real emergency list until YOU tap the πŸ†˜ button next to their name... strangers never wire themselves into the alarm.

Carolyn: He always wants to hold hands and turns over to see me and says hi before I get out of bed each morning. While I fix breakfast he watches his favorite shows, from gospel messages and music to everybody’s got talent and byu football or any games. He always tells me how good breakfast was. After breakfast I help him with showering. He always says get me a towel if there isn’t one there. He always makes sure the shower is dried off before he gets out. After he’s ready for the day and settled in his chair we have morning prayer and exercises on his bike or Joseph the standing frame. Afterwards he has his cute signal that says he’s going outside to work in his garden and/or other chores he loves to do. He always says thank you when I bring him lunch/supper outside or in and always says that was really good. As you know, he loves his garden and the backyard. In the evening we watch tv after supper and then gets ready for bed, brushes teeth and then I help him get settled and snuggled in bed. I hope this is helping. I’m just not sure it’s what you’re looking for. I’m afraid I don’t really understand what you need for those buttons. I’m so sorry. I’m not helping much at all. If you want to know all those things about him in the past, I just can’t recall them. My mind isn’t like it used to be. Unfortunately. 2026-08-05 19:11

For conversations beyond the buttons: type it, he hears it in his voice immediately. Love how it sounds? Keep it as a button.

πŸ“¦ Ready-made phrase packs

Big curated sets, written the way he'd say them. One tap adds a whole pack to its category... then hit ✨ "Make the voice for all of them" once and every new button speaks. Anything he already has is skipped automatically.

βž• Add a saying

His own sayings matter most... the things HE always says, word for word. Pick "🧩 Sentence words" to add tap-chips for his sentence builder instead (those need no audio). And in the lists below, tap β˜† on anything he uses a lot... favorites show FIRST in their grid and fill the ⭐ row at the very top of his page. That works from his Manage tab too, so he can pick his own.

πŸ˜‚ Or make it a REAL-sound button: attach a recording of his actual laugh, his whistle, his "hey!"... name it above, then attach the sound. Real recordings are never touched by the AI voice.
