New Voice Changer App Lets You Get Silly or Spooky With Buddies on WeChat
If you’re one of WeChat’s many users and you think your friends would like to hear you making silly voices when you message them, then the WeChat Voice app is just what you need. WeChat Voice is made by Tencent (HKG:0700), the same Chinese web company that makes WeChat, and is available for Android and iPhone and works in either English or Chinese.
It’s a fun app that can that can make recordings of your voice and then warp it into one of five different styles: kitty, uncle, echo, hurry, or slow. The ‘echo’ effect is actually more spooky than simply echo-ey, and works great for Hallowe’en. It’s backed up by two optional background noises for ghost noises or a thunderstorm. Sadly, there’s no auto-tune option. Wait, let me rephrase that: Mercifully, there’s no auto-tune option. Then you can share your awesome audio to some of your WeChat buddies – or onto Facebook, or as an MP3 via email.
If you send your freaky voice message to WeChat, then it’s the fastest way to do it from this app, and it shows in your friend’s chat stream as an embedded player with a little image that sets it apart from the regular voice-messaging in WeChat:
Of course, there are lots of other voice changer apps out there, but this one is designed to work seamlessly with WeChat – and does well for Facebook too. The app is pretty new, now at v1.1 on both platforms, and hopefully it’ll be updated with some more seasonal voice effects in future.
もちろん、数多くのボイスチェンジャーアプリが存在するが、これはWeChatとスムーズに機能するように設計されており、Facebookともよく機能する。このアプリは非常に新しく、現在両方のプラットフォーム向けのアプリが共にバージョン1.1であり、この先季節の音声効果をいくつか加えてアップデートされることを期待する。

Tencent is pushing WeChat hard across Southeast Asia, officially launching in Indonesia last month, whilst also focusing on other potentially major markets like India and the US. And of course China. The app passed the 200 million users milestone in September of this year.
WeChat Voice is free in the Play store or in iTunes.
