## Ways to pay less

- **Yearly billing saves up to 50%** (Annual discount): Billed yearly, Real-Time Pro plans cost between half and five-sixths of the monthly rate, for example $2.50 against $5 a month for Voice Skins. Source: https://www.altered.ai/real-time-pro/pricing/

## Key features

- **Real-time voice skins:** Changes both the timbre and the accent of your voice live through a virtual microphone any Windows or Mac app can select. The FAQ lists 20 voice skins.
- **Accent translation:** Converts an accent to American or British English during calls while keeping the speaker's own voice; aimed at call centers.
- **Speaker isolation:** Isolate suppresses background noise and competing speakers by locking on to the user's voiceprint.
- **Euphonia voice restoration:** A real-time model for people with dysphonia and voice disfluencies, used in voice and video calls.
- **Altered Studio:** A separate production tool for speech-to-speech morphing, text to speech in 70+ languages, transcription, translation and voice cloning from a few seconds of audio.
- **Local or cloud processing:** Real-Time Pro processes audio on your own CPU, and can hand it to cloud servers in the US, EU or India for $2 per hour of daily quota per month.

## Good for

- Gamers who want voice and accent skins on a low-cost plan
- Call-center teams standardizing accents on live calls
- People who need real-time voice restoration in calls

## Worth knowing

- The cheapest and free tiers require consenting to anonymized voice data being used to improve Altered's models.
- Altered Studio is a separate product; its pricing was not readable on the pages we checked.
- Processing runs on your CPU; Altered says real-time use suits a machine with 8 or more cores.
- The site footer still shows a 2022-2023 copyright date, so some marketing text may lag the product.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Altered changes your voice in real time and can translate accents, running on your own computer. The cheaper and free tiers need you to let it train on your anonymized voice data, and the real-time part needs a machine with 8 or more cores.

- **Value for money: A.** Voice Skins is $2.50 a month billed yearly ($5 monthly), under 60% of the category's cheapest quarter of $5. The $10 plans for accent translation or voice restoration are $6 yearly if you accept the data terms.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free is 20 minutes of processing a day with Isolate and 4 voice skins daily, but it requires consent to anonymized voice data training.
- **Features: C.** Voice skins, accent translation, speaker isolation, voice restoration and a studio. Altered Studio is a separate product with pricing we couldn't read.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It needs audio routing into your call app, and a powerful enough computer.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac and web, with Discord, Zoom, Teams, Meet, Skype, WhatsApp and Minecraft. No phone apps are listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Altered you would be making a voice model trained on your recordings. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 39 of the 43 other AI voice generators we grade. It costs $30 a year.

- You could not: A voice model trained on your recordings.
- You could not: A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- You could not: Audio cleaned up live as you speak.
- You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust.
- You could not: A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Discord, Zoom and Microsoft Teams among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
