Spirit Chat Box is a word-based spirit communication app for ghost hunters and paranormal investigators. Start a session, watch words appear one at a time, hear each one spoken aloud, and keep live sensor readings beside you as your investigation unfolds. It brings spirit box, ghost detector, ghost radar, and ghost talker features together in one clean, easy-to-use app for iPhone and iPad. Start a session Words appear at a steady pace, and each one is read aloud. Choose a female or male spirit voice. Download your chosen language’s voice once, then use it offline. Session history Every word is saved with a timestamp and grouped by session. Look back over past sessions, share one, or share your whole log. Live sensor dashboard Follow EMF, compass, accelerometer, and gyroscope readings live, and arrange the cards to suit your setup. Sensor availability varies by device. A word bank built for variety In every app language, words are selected and weighted by our custom system to help keep sessions varied. Pair Spirit Chat Box with your existing spirit box or EVP recorder as part of your investigation. Free and Pro The free version includes about 1,200 words, a daily limit on spoken words, and ads. Pro removes ads, unlocks the full bank of nearly 6,000 words, and gives you unlimited text-to-speech. Made for investigators Spirit Chat Box grew from years of feedback on our ghost-hunting apps. We kept the tools investigators actually use and put them one tap away. Spirit Chat Box is for entertainment. Spirit communication through technology is unproven; use your own judgment when interpreting session results. Open a session and see what comes through.
