Vocoder

A vocoder is a signal processing tool that analyzes and synthesizes speech or other audio signals. It works by breaking down the sound into its basic components, such as pitch and tone, then using that information to recreate or modify the audio. Originally used in telecommunications and audio effects, vocoders can transform a voice to sound robotic or blend voices creatively. They are commonly employed in music production, voice transformation, and sound design to produce unique audio effects by controlling how sounds are shaped and outputted.
