The voice modulator is a small electronic implant which, when placed next to a person's voice box, can imitate any voice or sound.

The voice modulator consists of two parts. The first, linked to the user's brain, is a computer microprocessor which can analyze any sound the user hears or thinks of. The second part is an electronic modulator which translates throat movements into the sound cued by the microprocessor. This allows the user, after 30 seconds of analyzing the desired voice or sound, to imitate it. The quality of the imitation is determined by the user's knowledge of the sound.

The operation to implant a voice modulator is quite simple, and requires only a few days in hospital. The implant and operation cost Cr 500,000.

Note: the voice modulator is illegal on all Imperial worlds with a Law level greater than 4. TL 12
