Lyrebird the Linux voice changer now supports PipeWire

From a quick read of the code, it seems like all this does is shift pitch; it doesn't change resonance or anything else that affects how your voice sounds. So it's great for sounding like a chipmunk or a demon, but not that useful for sounding like a different person.

Looks like it uses libsox internally. You can also use command-line SoX utilities to get the same effect. For example, this plays your microphone back at you, pitch shifted and with a delay:

  play '|rec -p pitch +400 40 delay 5 5'

(To be clear, I don't mean to beat down anybody's pet project. Just spreading related information. There's very little accessible documentation of Linux audio stuff.)

RVC is what you're looking for. There's lots of tooling around it.

Thanks! Is https://github.com/w-okada/voice-changer correct?

I'm regularly struck by how much of technical Japanese is literal transliterations of loanwords. In the diagram at https://github.com/w-okada/voice-changer#vc-client-%E3%81%A8... , I see "user", "client (browser)", Docker "container", "server", "Host" PC, "speaker".

... I don't know what the label says on the link between the client and server, though, the katakana is "bo i che n" and I can't think of what that transliterates to. Maybe it's a loanword that's not from English?

Short for "voice (boi) changer (chen)"

At least that's what https://github.com/RVC-Project/Retrieval-based-Voice-Convers... links to

Realtime Voice Conversion Software using RVC : w-okada/voice-changer

Do you have a link? It appears impossible to Google something this common.
