How to Download and Install Voice on Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner: All Ways 2026

Xiaomi’s robot vacuum cleaners are not just cleaning devices, but full-fledged voice-controlled assistants. But standard voices (such as female or male in Chinese/English) can quickly get bored or be confusing. Fortunately, the manufacturer and enthusiastic community offer dozens of alternatives, from celebrity voiceovers to customized packages with humor or regional accents.

In this article, you will learn how to download your voice to the Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner in all possible ways: through the official Mi Home app, third-party repositories (including Russian-language packages), and even manual installation through ADB for advanced users. We will analyze the nuances for different models – from Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro to DreameBot D10 Plus, and also warn against typical errors that can “brick” the device.

Important: the procedure varies depending on the firmware and the region of the device. If your vacuum cleaner is bought in China, some voices may not be supported without changing the region in the Mi Home. But don't worry, we've detailed the workarounds.

1.What voices are Xiaomi's robot vacuum cleaners supporting?

The manufacturer offers two types of voice packets:

• 🔹 Official voices – preinstalled in firmware (usually 2-3 You can change them directly to Mi Home without additional downloads.
• 🔹 Custom voices – created by enthusiasts or streamers (e.g., Monroe, Goblin, game characters) installed via third-party services or manually.

List of supported models (relevant for firmware 2023-2026):

Important: Rockchip models (like the DreameBot Z10 Pro) only support official voices because of the closed firmware. If your model isn't in the spreadsheet, check it out on the 4PDA forum, there are compatibility bases.

2. Method 1: Change voice through the official Mi Home app

This is the simplest method, but it only works with preset voices.

2. Go to Settings → Voice prompts (or Settings → Voice Pack in English).
3. Slip on the current voice and select an alternative from the list.
4. Confirm the loading - the vacuum cleaner will restart (occupation ~ 2 minutes).

If there is no Russian voice on the list, try changing the region of the device:

• 📍 In Mi Home, go to the device profile → Region.
• 🔄 Choose China, there are more options for voting.
• ⚠️ Warning: after the change of the region may disappear support for Yandex Alice or Google Assistant.

💡

If after changing your voice, the vacuum cleaner began to “drum” or talk with artifacts, return to the standard package and restart the device through Settings → Reboot.

Method 2: Install custom voices through third-party services

To install informal votes (e.g., community packages) you will need:

• 📱 Android smartphone (for iOS, the method does not work).

6.Alternatives: Voice assistants instead of built-in voice

If you don’t like the built-in voice, but don’t want to risk firmware, consider connecting external assistants:

Advantages of this approach:

• ✅ No risk of damaging the vacuum cleaner.
• ✅ More voice options (including star voices).
• ✅ Integration with other smart devices.

Disadvantages:

• ❌ Delay in execution of commands (up to 2-3 seconds).
• ❌ Requires a permanent connection to the Internet.

7.Security: How not to break the vacuum cleaner when installing the voice?

Installing informal voice packets is an interference with the system files of the device, to avoid problems:

⚠️ Warning: If your vacuum cleaner is warranty-worthy, custom voice installation may cause service denial, which the manufacturer considers an "unauthorized modification".

Safety regulations:

• 🔒 Download votes only from trusted sources (e.g. Xiaomi.eu or Google) 4PDA).
• 📡 Do not interrupt the file download process – this can cause firmware damage.
• 🔄 Before experimenting, back up your original voice (see Section 5).
• 🛡️ Do not install voices on models with a Rockchip chip (e.g. DreameBot) Z10 Pro – this can block the device.

If the vacuum cleaner has stopped turning on after installing the voice:

1. Press the Reset button for 15 seconds (hard reset).
2. If it doesn’t work, connect via ADB and delete the problem file: adb shell rm /sdcard/miio/voice/voice.pack
3. Reflash the device through Mi Home (Update section).
