The social network of the little bird continues unabated to prepare new features to enrich Spaces, its audio chats born to compete with Clubhouse.
The Twitter Spaces chats could soon include among the tools available a new and fun feature: audio effects to be applied to the voice. Among the social networks that have added voice conversations to their baggage, that of the blue bird is the first to integrate the transformation of speech in real time, throwing down the gauntlet to those who originally beat the path of chats between users, or Clubhouse.
After debuting in December with testing on iOS and in March on Android, Twitter is now showing a willingness to see Spaces not just as meeting places for practical and functional exchanges of ideas, but real places of aggregation that make the fun of its users a major strength. The upcoming feature, called “Voice Transformer”, was identified by app reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong. In the past, the expert had already highlighted several features of Twitter, anticipating the timing of the official release; with this latest novelty, then, has inevitably aroused the curiosity of those who are still undecided among the many proposals popping up on social.
Twitter Spaces, how audio effects work
According to the images posted by Wong through his profile, Voice Transformer will allow you to use sound effects to change your voice in real time. The alterations identified by the engineer mainly concern the tone and the addition of an artificial echo.
This intervention was followed by that of the developer Steve Moser who showed followers the list of manipulations that should end up in the final package of Twitter. These include the bee effect, cartoon, helium, incognito, karaoke, microphone, phone, space, stadium and stage; each, as you can imagine, has specific features all to be tried.
Twitter Spaces, when are the audio effects coming
To experience audio effects in chats within the platform’s Spaces might take a while yet. Voice Transformer is currently in the hands of developers, and before it can join the roster of tools available to subscribers, it will have to undergo a complete testing phase.
The headquarters is officially keeping the utmost confidentiality – unless confirmed by Danny Singh of Twitter’s Research and Development team – focusing instead on another integration that involves adding voting buttons, for or against, on replies to original tweets. At the moment, a group of users selected by the social on iOS is testing the feature, which, in the future, will only show negative votes to the author while positive ones will be visible to all, in the form of likes.
