Voicemod, the world leader in AI voice transformation and interactive audio, has announced Voicemod Key, a new hardware device to bring the full Voicemod experience to consoles, mobile devices, and tablets for the very first time.

As the number one voice changer and soundboard for gamers, streamers, content creators, and anyone looking to supercharge their voice online, Voicemod allows users to change their voice in real-time as easily as switching skins in a game. With hundreds of voices to choose from and a soundboard boasting over 150,000 sounds and audio memes, Voicemod enhances online interactions with unparalleled self-expression and creativity.

Voice changers are becoming integral to how a new generation of users communicate in gaming, streaming, and other online spaces, making access to Voicemod on consoles, mobile devices, and tablets the company’s most requested feature.

Traditionally, 'closed' platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, and Android do not provide developers with system-level access to their sound input features. This limitation has restricted universal voice changers to desktop PCs and Macs. Voicemod's new hardware accessory overcomes this barrier, enabling users to access Voicemod's full feature set across all their devices. This includes PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices and tablets.

Voicemod Key will unlock a wealth of new audio experiences, enabling gamers to fully embody their in-game characters, friends to connect and express themselves through the latest audio memes, and streamers to engage with audiences in innovative ways using audio. For example, users can chat on WhatsApp while playing FIFA on their PlayStation, use in-game voice chat while playing Fortnite on any of their consoles or tablets, talk with friends on PartyChat while playing any game on PlayStation, or connect on Discord through both PlayStation and Xbox.

"Our community has long requested the ability to access the full Voicemod experience on game consoles, mobile devices and tablets," said Jaime Bosch, co-founder and CEO of Voicemod. "Platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, and Android do not provide system-level access to the devices' sound input features. To overcome these limitations, we are bringing Voicemod's debut hardware accessory to market, allowing us to deliver the real-time voice transformation and interactive audio features our users love across all their favorite devices."

Voicemod Key is designed for simplicity and ease of use. In console mode, users attach the dongle to their smartphone or tablet via a USB-C or Lightning port, then connect both their headset and console to the two available ports on the dongle. This setup allows for complete voice-changer and soundboard functionality during console voice chat and in-game chat. In mobile mode, users attach the dongle to their smartphone or tablet and connect their headset. This enables Voicemod functionality while socializing on any mobile chat app.

Voicemod Key, with support for console mode only, will soon be available for registered beta testers. A wider release is planned for later this year in the USA, followed by Europe, bundled as part of a multi-platform Voicemod Pro subscription. A second version of Voicemod Key, supporting both console and mobile modes, will be available early next year.
