Online Games Voice Technology

Online games have become quickly popular over the last few years. In fact, it's become a multi-billion dollar industry. These giant virtual worlds provide a realistic, engaging surroundings in which people can play and interact. It's been a fertile ground for game enthusiasts from all walks of life to come together. As a result, these games have produced giant and vibrant online communities.

In these virtual worlds, you can select an avatar or character that represents you. The latest games offer the ability to personalize these characters in limitless ways; you can change your character's hairstyle, facial features, size, weight, and clothing. How about the ability to change your voice to match your online character? That is currently not a standard feature in games. But I do see know-how stepping in and providing a solution.

Voice communication in games has been around for some time, but only recently has gained popularity in online games. Much of this may must do with the increase in the number of individuals who now have broadband Web connections in lieu of dial-up. This provides the additional precious bandwidth to cover an additional voice channel. As voice chat is becoming increasingly prevalent in online game use, companies like Xfire, TeamSpeak, and Ventrillo have emerged to meet the needs.

Think of the possibilities: game enthusiasts could now change their voice to sound like a troll, giant, dwarf or dark lord. They have spent plenty of hours making their online character to look a positive way, why not change their voice to match? It is products like MorphVOX by Screaming Bee that can fill this need. MorphVOX is voice-changing application specifically designed for online games. This device allows game enthusiasts to role-play more effectively. Not only can they look the part, they can also have a voice to match.
