What is settings.ini file?

Vovsoft applications are designed to be easy to use, yet powerful under the hood. Did you know that all the changes you make through the graphical interface are automatically saved into a file called settings.ini?

This file not only preserves your preferences but also gives advanced users a quick way to modify settings directly — often faster and more flexible than using the graphical user interface.

Sample settings.ini file contents

Tips for editing settings.ini file

• Always close the application before making any changes to the file.
• Use a plain-text editor like Notepad or Text Edit Plus.
• Save the file using UTF-8 encoding without BOM. Note: Some older versions of Vovsoft applications may not fully support UTF-8. In such cases, it's best to stick to basic English characters.
• Boolean options can take different forms depending on the software, such as True and False, 1 and 0, or ON and OFF.
• Create a backup of the original settings.ini before applying significant changes.
• If something goes wrong, don’t worry. Simply delete the file — the application will automatically recreate it with default settings on the next launch.
