Mimic is a voice studio for your iPhone. Turn your voice into a character in real time, record studio-quality takes, make a voice of your own, and share it with the Mimic community. TRANSFORM YOUR VOICE LIVE Speak and hear yourself as another voice instantly — through your speaker, AirPods, or any Bluetooth output. Great for videos, characters, storytelling, gaming, and creative play. WHAT YOU GET FREE Six voice effects — Robot, Helium, Demon, Underwater, Whisper and Echo — with no limits and no subscription. Browse and preview the whole community library. Make a voice of your own, and share it with the library to keep it yours to use as much as you like. Try the designer voices and take one from the library before you decide anything. A COMMUNITY VOICE LIBRARY Browse voices other people have made and shared, hear a preview of each one, like the ones you love, and add them to your own grid. New voices appear without waiting for an app update. Publish a voice you made — tagged by how it sounds, so people can find it — see how many people take it, and remove it again whenever you want. Every voice is reviewed before it appears, and anything can be reported from inside the app. RANKS AND MEDALS Everything you do in Mimic earns points — making a voice, taking one, saving a take, publishing to the library. Climb ten ranks from Newcomer to Immortal, unlock eleven medals, and keep a daily streak that survives a missed day. Free for everyone, with no account and nothing to sign up for. EIGHT DESIGNER VOICES Eunice, Boomer, Aoife, Sterling, Rex, Marshal, Princess, and Super Hero — distinct voices tuned by the Mimic team. MAKE A VOICE OF YOUR OWN Record about 20 seconds of your own voice — or someone who has given permission — and Mimic builds a voice avatar on the Apple Neural Engine. Mimic is for creative and entertainment use: only clone voices you have permission to use, and don't use Mimic to impersonate or deceive anyone. STUDIO-QUALITY RECORDINGS Save takes that process through a higher-fidelity model for clean, shareable audio. YOUR RECORDINGS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE Recording, cloning and playback all run on-device, and there is no account to create. Your audio is never uploaded. If you choose to publish a voice to the community library, Mimic sends only its voice print — a small mathematical signature of the voice — and never your recordings. LIGHT OR DARK Mimic follows your iPhone's appearance, or you can pin it to light or dark in Settings. MIMIC PRO Unlock unlimited use of all eight designer voices, the whole community library, your own voices, and studio recordings: • $3.99/month, or • $19.99 one-time (lifetime) Includes a 3-day free trial. Family Sharing supported. Making your own voice, the designer voices and the community voices all need iPhone 15 Pro or newer — you can still browse the library on any iPhone. The six free voice effects work on all supported iPhones. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Voxbend

Read full description

Your voice, a new character, a finished video. Voxbend lets you record or import a clip, apply an effect, and check the result before sharing it. One purchase, with no subscription, ads or account. Processing stays on your iPhone or iPad. FROM ORIGINAL TO FINISHED VIDEO 1. Record a take or choose audio or video from Photos or Files. 2. Pick a voice and compare the original and processed sound. 3. Build your MP4, watch it, then save or share it. The video review screen switches between the original movie and the exported version. The original is untrimmed; the export follows your trim and speed settings. Dimensions, duration and size come from the actual output file. Optional export details preserve the recipe and file fingerprints. Audio-only sessions can become portrait waveform videos. 30 VOICE EFFECTS Try Robot, Chipmunk, Monster, Announcer and more across Characters, Creatures, Places, Gadgets, and Speed & Reverse. Surprise me chooses a different effect. Shape pitch, speed, vocal color EQ, reverb, distortion, ring modulation and echo; trim, fade and reverse recordings. Save up to 40 custom voices and 12 variations per session, with 24-step undo/redo. LIVE VOICE WITH HEADPHONES Hear effects as you speak, switch voices and keep a take for later editing. Headphones are required to prevent feedback. Speed and reverse effects apply to recorded takes rather than live input. Voxbend does not change your voice inside phone calls or other apps. PITCH AND SPEECH Inspect the pitch trace, transpose a selected region, or tune detected notes toward a chosen key and scale with adjustable strength. Tuning works on recordings, not live input. Type up to 1,000 characters and use an available Apple system voice to create a take. AUDIO, VIDEO AND SOUND PACKS Deliver WAV at 16/24 bit or AAC at 44.1/48 kHz, or MP4 video. Audio measurements report sample peak and RMS, not LUFS or true peak. Render up to 12 variations into a ZIP sound pack with a recipe manifest. Back up and restore your library, originals, videos, edits and custom voices in one file. QUICK ACCESS Widgets and Control Center buttons open recording or Live voice. Use the Change Voice action in Shortcuts to process an audio file on your device. YOUR ORIGINALS STAY INTACT Record up to five minutes. Import audio up to five minutes and 150 MB, or video up to five minutes and 1 GB. Edits are stored separately from the original. Microphone access is requested for recording or Live voice, and Photos access only when you choose to save a video. You choose each sharing destination. Included reference clips and demonstration videos are synthetic samples. Vocal color is tonal EQ, not formant shifting. The app interface and screenshots are in English.
