SpiritFone is an audio processor for real-time EVP (electronic voice phenomena) sessions. It creates its own white noise and then passes that noise through a chain of up to eight processing stages ("plugins"). The stages shape, filter and clean the sound so that spirit voices are audible. An audio recorder is built in, allowing you to record two separate audio streams: the voices of Spirit and your voice. Another option allows you to merge the two audio recordings so that you have a complete dialogue. When you have the settings how you like them, save them in a preset. Or make several presets if you like. Want to listen in stereo? No problem. Just click the Stereo button. To load the same settings on startup, just enable the Load selected preset on startup checkbox. Share your favorite presets in the discussion area: https://github.com/pkshadygrove/SpiritFone/discussions.
A spectrogram is also available.
SpiritFone v1.0.2 adds a Check for Updates button and tidies the left sidebar. The installer and SpiritFone.exe are digitally signed, as in v1.0.1.
What's new
- Check for Updates. A button in the left sidebar, under Help and Exit. When you click it, SpiritFone asks GitHub whether a newer version has been published and tells you. If there is one, a button opens this Releases page. The check only runs when you click; nothing is downloaded or installed automatically.
- Sidebar. Output Channels and Output Level & Compressor now sit at the top of the OUTPUT section. The "UI Control Mode" text is gone.
- The window title and the User Guide now say 1.0.2.
What's in it
- Processing stages that run in a fixed order. They include a noise source with a 6-point equalizer, a noise filter, a Time Modulator, a DeepFilterNet-based dialogue stage, a hosted ReaFIR and ReaEQ, and Vocal Lift.
- Vocal Lift includes the LSP Multiband Expander and Multiband Compressor. The installer places their DLL next to
SpiritFone.exe. - Spectrogram window with Fast, Fine and Dual views. It can show the final sound, the sound before the voice stage, or both.
- Presets. Save, load, back up, restore and import/export presets. The installer includes a default preset and a backup copy of it.
- User guide. A 31-page PDF that opens from the Help button.
*Installation
- Run
SpiritFone-Setup-1.0.2.exe. The license page appears during setup. - SpiritFone needs the free ReaPlugs pack (64-bit) from Cockos for its ReaFIR stage. It is not bundled, because its license doesn't allow redistribution. Install it separately.
- Windows may still warn you when you run the installer. The installer is digitally signed, but Windows SmartScreen can show "Windows protected your PC" for a new program until enough people have downloaded it. This is expected. To continue, click More info, then Run anyway. Your browser may also ask you to confirm the download.

About the "Source code" files below: GitHub adds these two archives to every release automatically. They contain this repository only: the README, the license texts and the LSP plugin source (LSP-Plugins/), which is included to meet the LSP license. They do not contain the source code of SpiritFone itself.
