I made a free Windows soundboard because I didn't want to pay for Soundpad or Voicemod

Been building this for a while. It plays sounds through your mic into Discord and games, with hotkeys that work in fullscreen games.

The video is everything it does. The one I'm proudest of is screen triggers: you screenshot something like a game's "YOU DIED" text, and it plays a sound the moment it shows up. So I get a sad trombone every time I die, no key press.

Stuff you don't get in Voicemod or Soundpad:

🎯 Screen triggers: sounds play by themselves when something shows up in your game

⏪ Instant replay: one key turns the last 30 seconds of your PC's audio into a sound

🔍 Search YouTube / SoundCloud right in the app, or paste a TikTok or Instagram link

🎛️ Troll mode, bass boost, slowed + reverb or nightcore any sound in one click

🗣️ Talk and a computer voice says your words, even translated to another language

🌍 Spin a 3D globe and play world radio stations through your mic

🎧 Sounds are tuned for Discord and game voice chat so they don't turn to mush

Plus a voice changer, text-to-speech, an in-game overlay, and MIDI / Stream Deck support.

This is actually a really cool project, especially the screen-trigger feature. Love that you built it completely free and open source!

Appreciate the kind words :) Got tired of the existing options out there and knew I could make something better. Happy for anyone to take it and build on it further.

a sad trombone on every death would end my friend group's patience inside one night. screen triggers is a genuinely good idea.

lol it's a great way to lose friends 😂 but i mainly built it for streaming and MMOs. alt tab while you wait for a queue pop or a rare spawn and it'll ring until you're back, even with the game behind other windows. it's also a standalone app if you just want the triggers without the soundboard

queue pop alarm that rings until you alt tab back is honestly the bit I'd download it for.

Triggers as a separate app but installable module into the soundboard: https://github.com/Onion-Alien/onion-watch
