EasyEffects can change mic input live. Privacy option for people who need to use their voice in any public/insecure online setting & don't want to be easily identified. (github.com)

There are other FOSS real-time voice changers for Linux, but the others I found either seemed to have fewer features, be less polished, or be abandoned.

I'm not really a voice expert or anything so I'm not sure what aspects of voice a, like, forensic voice analyst or something would look at. I've just changed the pitch and I sound different enough that I wouldn't recognise the voice, which is good enough for me. Open to suggestions as to what effects would give the most privacy in terms of making it harder to identify your voice (while still being intelligible)

Also, for people's reference, if you want mic input to be changed for all apps, go to three dots > Preferences > General > Audio > Process All Input Streams and enable.

STT | TTS > /dev/audio ?

Hey that's what I did with Mimic2 (the Mycroft project's TTS) and DeepSpeach (Mozilla's STT) for a Lil bit. Hard to handle streaming data right, but it was doableish.
