"The Voice" is the name given to the disembodied voice acting as the announcer in the Bejeweled series. The Voice makes a positive response whenever a move that scores a large amount of points is made. The Voice will also announce the mode selected, time remaining in gameplay, and announce ending events such as the depletion of the timer or the exhaustion of possible moves.
After a good move, the game may make a positive response pop up in large text over the board complementing the voice's audio feedback encouragement. The Voice also provides lines for when specific events happen during the game, such as when the game starts and ends, and when a level is completed.

*The Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese versions borrow the same voice files from the English version.
Appearance[]
In Bejeweled 2, The Voice is revealed to be a humanoid figure formed from gems and a Hypercube on its forehead. After completion of the Puzzle Mode, the embodiment of The Voice appears, who then proceeds to congratulate the player by saying "EXCELLENT" before the game credits roll.
Bejeweled Stars recycles various voice lines from Bejeweled Blitz and Bejeweled 3, albeit adding an echo effect.
In the iOS version 14.5 or higher, the game lacks "The Voice" for unknown reason, just like what it did to other modern PopCap mobile games that use Wwise as their sound engine.
