On May 19, 2026, SELVAS AI added 25 Style Voices to Odiro. SELVAS AI describes Style Voices as voices that reflect tones and vocal qualities suited to the genre and characteristics of the content. The update was presented as an expansion from voices focused primarily on information delivery to the creation of characters with distinct personalities, including support for genres such as romance, action, and fantasy.
The Key Focus of the May Update: “Genre Expansion”
Along with the addition of Style Voices, Odiro also introduced user-experience improvements to make it easier to browse and select voices and apply them during the creation process. The official introduction page describes a production flow consisting of file upload, voice selection, editing, and completion, as well as an editing environment based on document-structure analysis.
The addition of 25 Style Voices can be viewed as an expansion of Odiro’s capabilities from information-focused speech to the creation of characters in genre-based content.
What Ends on September 1 Is Not Odiro as a Whole
In a notice published on July 31, 2026, Odiro announced that its AI voice content creation feature and related subscription plans would end on September 1, 2026. The same notice specified that the AI audiobook creation service would remain available.
| Category | Official guidance |
|---|---|
| Scheduled to end on September 1, 2026 | AI voice content creation feature and related subscription plans |
| Remains available | AI audiobook creation service |
| Requires separate confirmation | Existing AI voice content creation projects and audio-file storage |
Therefore, rather than interpreting the announcement as the shutdown of the entire Odiro service, users should distinguish between the features scheduled to end and the services that will remain available.
Check Existing Projects by August 31
According to the official notice, existing AI voice content creation projects will not be migrated to SELVAS Voice. Users were also advised to download any necessary audio files by August 31, 2026.
Existing users should check the following:
- Confirm whether there are existing audio files that need to be retained.
- Download any necessary audio files by August 31, 2026.
- Review separately what should be stored, taking into account that projects will not be migrated to SELVAS Voice.
This change requires attention because the expansion of Style Voices in May was followed by the announcement that the AI voice content creation feature would be discontinued in September. If you use Odiro, the key step is to first confirm whether the feature you use is among those being discontinued, separately from the updated voice lineup.
