Voicemod announced today that it’s launching a new hardware device: Key, a dongle that allows console gamers to use the company’s voice-changing technology. It works with both PlayStation and Xbox console-based voice chats, as well as Discord on-console. It’s currently available to purchase along with a Voicemod Pro subscription — users who already have a subscription get a discounted price.
The Key works by connecting to a smartphone or tablet via a USB-C or lightning port, which allows users to control their voice-changer and soundboard via a handheld device. They then plug their console and headset to the dongle itself. Content creators and streamers, as well as regular gamers can modify their voices, either for entertainment purposes or for privacy.
According to Voicemod, its Key is the first hardware of its kind that allows console gamers access to the same voice-changing tech as PC gamers have had for some time. Key contains a library of AI-generated voice imprints for users to choose, along with over 300,000 sounds. Users can seamlessly switch between the voices at will.
Jaime Bosch, Voicemod CEO, said in a statement, “In-game voice chats are becoming essential for building real connections in the digital world. Gamers value the convenience of console platforms, and we’re excited to bring our real-time voice transformation technology to all their favorite consoles. Voicemod Key makes online interactions more engaging, memorable, and fun—no matter where they happen.”
