AetherTalker is an advanced Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC) research tool designed for paranormal investigators, ghost hunters, and curious explorers. Using your iPhone’s internal 3D magnetometer and motion sensors, AetherTalker measures real-time electromagnetic field (EMF) anomalies and converts physical entropy fluctuations into phonemes, words, and audible synthesized speech. KEY FEATURES: • Real-time 3D Spatial Radar: Pinpoints the physical directional origin of magnetic energy spikes. • Live Phosphor Oscilloscope: High-precision visual waveform of ambient electromagnetic flux. • Intelligent Energy Decoder: Over 500+ curated phonemes and categorized words mapped dynamically to EMF energy tiers. • Audio Speech Synthesis: Low-frequency, deep robotic vocalization of detected words. • Geiger Counter Audio Feedback: Dynamic click rate correlating with electromagnetic field intensity. • Investigation Log & Export: Record exact timestamps, peak microtesla (µT) levels, and export full session transcripts with one tap. • Zero Subscriptions & No Ads: Fully offline, pure on-device sensor processing. DISCLAIMER: This application is designed for entertainment and experimental ITC research purposes only. It utilizes the hardware magnetometer in your device to detect ambient electromagnetic fluctuations. It does not guarantee communication with actual spirits or paranormal entities.

Dead Channel is a spirit box instrument built around eight voice banks. Tap Start and they begin: broken syllables, breaths, and pieces of English words, deep men and high women, forward and backwards, a few at a time with silence in between. Ask your question out loud, then listen. When a longer, clearer word or a whispered sentence comes through, the phone taps once and the screen flushes red. • Eight voice banks, each with its own tone, played in clusters with silence between • Echo, reverb, and a white noise bed that dips under the voices • Sweep rate from slow and sparse to fast and crowded • Every session is recorded with the effects you used and saved to the Library • Works offline, with no account and no ads, and it never uses the microphone Every sound is free to try for 48 hours. After the trial, a single one-time purchase unlocks Dead Channel for good. There is no subscription. Dead Channel is an instrument. It plays generated audio, and it does not prove the paranormal. Some voices are generated with Piper from the LibriTTS-R corpus (Koizumi et al., CC BY 4.0).
