IceVox

What IceVox is

IceVox is a free voice-effects and peer-to-peer voice chat app for gaming and roleplay, available on Windows, Android, and the web. Users can adjust pitch shift, echo, tremolo, vibrato, distortion, chorus, and reverb, then choose among 10 character presets or save creations in three custom slots. A room link lets people join P2P voice chat with up to six participants, including users on different supported platforms. Opt-in P2P video calls open in a separate window and use adaptive quality. IceVox also lists text chat, file sharing up to 10 MB, invite links, loopback monitoring, and system tray controls. Custom voice creation and system-wide mode are supported. The maker describes routing processed audio through VB-Cable for use with other apps, including Discord and games. IceVox is open source under the MIT license and supported by donations; its maker says a solo developer maintains it. The Free plan costs nothing.

Who it suits

IceVox suits gamers and roleplayers who want voice effects and a room for small-group P2P voice chat. It may also suit people who want to join from Windows, Android, or a browser.
