Skype Voice Changer

[Raine]

Skype Voice Changer demonstrates how to use NAudio and Skype4COM to allow real-time effects processing of your voice during a Skype conversation. It is developed in C#.The software has many filters for adding different tones to the voice. The software may look bit complex but if you use it, you will know how simple it is to use. NAudio works by constructing an audio playback graph. These effects are used to process MP3 files while they are being played back, and to process the real-time microphone input allowing you to change your voice during a Skype conversation.

Audio comes in “streams” which can be connected together and modified before eventually they go to a renderer. This might be your soundcard if you are listening to the audio, or it might be to a file on the hard disk. Skype Voice Changer demonstrates the use of NAudio for audio playback and sample manipulation. Eventually, it is intended that the effects framework in this project will become part of the core NAudio library.

However, it turns out that Skype has a full featured SDK to allow all kinds of third-party add-ons and enhancements. The Skype API can be used in .NET via a COM object, called Skype4Com.

Skype Voice Changer is a nifty utility that lets you play with it’s options and add effects to your voice while doing audio/video chats. It is a good idea to test your effect first using a local audio file, as you will not easily be able to determine whether glitches and other audio artifacts were caused by your effect.It has 4 different options, Badbussmojo, Chorus, SuperPitch and Rangebaby. Audio mixing and effects are almost always performed with floating point numbers, so one of the first steps after reading audio out of a WAV file is to convert it from 16 bit to 32 bit. NAudio includes the Wave16 To 32ConversionStream class to do this.With extended options like number of voice, lenght and many other factors, it’s loads of fun.

While selecting effects for use with Skype you should be aware of few things like the audio is mono, so there is no point using any effects such as stereo delay. Also the audio is almost certainly down-sampled to a much lower sample rate before being transmitted to save on network bandwidth.

Requirements:

• Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 installed in the system
• The software currently works in Windows.

So just install the tool and let the fun begin.
