About Voice Changer Software 7.0 and Virtual Audio Driver:

AV Voice Changer Software from version 7.0 has a built-in virtual audio driver (VCS VAD) which can work as a real audio driver. All PC2Phone applications can detect the AV virtual audio driver automatically. By changing the audio settings of those programs, AV Voice Changer Software will be the main voice processor for them.

About Skype (source: wikipedia):

Skype is a software application that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet. Calls to other users of the service and to free-of-charge numbers are free, while calls to other landlines and mobile phones can be made for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing.

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to use Voice Changer Software 7.0 for voice chat with SkypeOut. SkypeOut is a popular PC-to-Phone Dialer which supports both a web-based dialer and a computer-based dialer program.

With other PC2Phone chat applications, apply the same process to set VCS 7.0 as your main voice processing program.
