How to talk with different voices in AIM: Using AV Voice Changer Software

INTRODUCTION AV Voice Changer Software new version has a virtual audio driver (VCS VAD) which can work as a real audio driver. The device is detected by all VoIP applications, and instant messenger with voice applications as another option of audio device. By setting VCS VAD as the active audio driver for those applications, AV Voice Changer Software will automatically capture and process audio and voice for voice calls or voice communication (voice chat). In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to use Voice Changer Software 7.0 for voice chat with AIM, one of the most popular instant messenger applications being used today. With other voice chat applications, apply the same process to set VCS as your main voice changing module. About AIM: AIM, which is an abbreviation of AOL Instant Messenger, is an instant messaging and presence computer program which uses the proprietary OSCAR instant messaging protocol and the TOC protocol to allow registered users to communicate in real time. It was released by AOL in May 1997. Stand-alone official AIM client software includes advertisements and is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Linux. The software, maintained by AOL, LLC, has a large share of the instant messaging market, especially in the United States (with 52% of the total reported as of 2006).
