Pygmalion to Voxta: Breathing Life into Old Text

Do you have old JSON character files from the early days of local AI? This tool upgrades them into modern, voice-ready Voxta profiles.

From 2023 Text to 2026 Voice

The Pygmalion format was the standard for text-based roleplay on Colab and early local setups. Voxta is the future of interactive AI, supporting TTS and STT. If you want to talk to your old favorite characters instead of just typing at them, you need to migrate their data structure. This tool handles the schema upgrade automatically.

Technical Upgrade: Missing Data Generation

Pygmalion files are "flat" and lack many fields that Voxta expects. Our converter synthesizes this missing data to prevent errors:

1. UUID Synthesis

Pygmalion files have no ID. Voxta crashes without one. We generate a compliant v4 UUID for your character on the fly, allowing it to register as a new, unique entity in the Voxta database.

2. CamelCase Transformation

We map the legacy keys to the modern schema:

char_name → name
char_persona → personality
char_greeting → firstMessage
example_dialogue → mesExample (Array formatted)

3. Profile Expansion

Voxta splits "Description" (Visuals) from "Personality" (Mind). Since Pygmalion only has "Persona," we intelligently duplicate the relevant data into the `profile` field so the AI has context for both behavior and appearance.

Migration Guide

Locate: Find your old `.json` files.
Convert: Drag one into the tool.
Install: Place the resulting `character.json` into a new folder in `Voxta/profiles/`.
Voice: Open Voxta, select the character, and assign a voice (ElevenLabs/Coqui) manually, as this data didn't exist in the old file.

FAQ: Pygmalion to Voxta

Q: Why is the voice set to default?

A: Pygmalion files contain no voice data. Voxta will assign a default TTS voice until you choose a specific one in the app settings.

Q: Can I merge multiple JSONs?

A: No, Voxta profiles are 1-to-1. You must convert each character individually.
