Voicemod’s New Phone Gadget Changes Your ‘Sonic Identity’ for Mobile Games and Streaming

Clip it to the back of your phone, and it'll convert your voice on the fly for fun, privacy and accessibility.

For years, Voicemod has given people a way to change their voices online, which they’ve done for any number of benign reasons — for game players with feminine-pitched voices to avoid harassment, for those with damaged vocal cords to simulate their former voices, for anonymity or even just for fun. Now the company has a new product to bring its voice-changing tech on the go in a physical device that magnetically clips on the back of phones.

The Voicemod Key Pocket, available to preorder now for $130, is a small soundboard about the size of a magnetic battery and serves as a controller interface for the company’s voice-changing apps. The half-dozen buttons on the back of the device can be used to switch between voices or audio effects while streaming or playing games, while the wheel adjusts volume of the projected voice. 

The Key Pocket works in tandem with the Voicemod app, but all voice processing is done locally and in real time separate from games and streaming apps in order to maximize privacy as well as performance, according to a Voicemod statement. The Voicemod app provides access to over 200 original voices made by the company, over 76,000 voices made by the service’s community and over 800,000 sounds and memes made by users. 

The Key Pocket is a versatile gizmo, with an LED wheel at the top-left corner for toggling voices and checking sound setup, while programmable trigger buttons enable swapping between voices and soundboard playback.
