This is a lite version of Pocket Talkbox, offering one octave of the famous talk box tone, set to a major scale. Learn the fun and unusual technique of shaping notes into words, just by moving your mouth around the speaker. A talkbox is NOT a voice changer so please tap or see the TUTORIAL if it's your first time. TUTORIAL: https://youtu.be/xw74j9egoEM Play a tune or a tone, pointing the speaker directly into your mouth. The SHAPE OF YOUR MOUTH creates the effect (not your voice). Try giving the keyboard a wah-wah effect by mouthing (not speaking) "wah-wah-wah" over the speaker. PRO TIP: Point the SPEAKER (not the microphone) into your mouth while you play the notes. Move your mouth but DO NOT USE YOUR VOICE! Every musical instrument takes a certain amount of practice and this is one of them. Please make an effort to understand how it works before saying it doesn't. Have fun! For more info and tutorials, please visit http://vbiliti.com/pockettalkbox

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Voice Synth Modular at 4.2 against Pocket Talkbox Lite's 3.0. Voice Synth Modular also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 23). Pocket Talkbox Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Voice Synth Modular holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voice Synth Modular has 3K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Voice Synth Modular's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pocket Talkbox Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Voice Synth Modular ships an update monthly, Pocket Talkbox Lite every 9 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
