01
Less background
RNNoise suppresses background noise locally, helping speech take the foreground.
02
Your kind of clarity
Adjust the equalizer to shape your voice. Keep control of the sound that feels right to you.
03
A level you can see
Set your output volume and watch the real level meter, so you can spot peaks before a call.
FROM PLUGGED IN TO READY TO TALK
A small setup.
A calmer call.
Vozena creates a processed microphone for your calling app. You choose the sound; your desktop does the rest.
Read the setup stepsConnect your Yeti
Open Vozena with your classic USB Blue Yeti connected. Keep its gain and pickup pattern on the microphone’s physical controls.
Find your sound
Run a guided 10-second calibration. Review the suggested settings and apply them when you’re ready. Listen to an A/B sample if you want.
Activate, then choose “Yeti Processado”
Click “Ativar tratamento” in Vozena, then select “Yeti Processado” in your meeting app’s audio settings. Leave Vozena running in the tray and get on with the conversation.
THOUGHTFUL, DOWN TO THE DETAILSControl, without
Control, without
the clutter.
Useful tools for your microphone, in one quiet corner of your desktop.
Hear the difference yourself
Record a short 10-second sample and compare unprocessed and processed audio. The sample lives only in memory, never in a saved recording.
A mute within reach
Mute from the tray or use a global keyboard shortcut on KDE. Stay in your conversation without hunting for a window.
Unplug. Plug back in.
Automatic reconnection brings your microphone back after it disconnects, keeping everyday setup a little simpler.
BUILT FOR LINUX. HONEST ABOUT THE DETAILS.
A clear starting point.
Vozena is a first public preview, built and tested around one real desktop and microphone. Here’s exactly where it stands.
VALIDATED SETUPFedora 44 · Ubuntu 26.04/26.10 · KDE PlasmaPipeWire 1.6.9 · x86_64Classic USB Blue Yeti
App interface: Portuguese. Documentation: English and Portuguese.
Other Linux distributions, desktops, and microphones have not yet been verified. The global shortcut is KDE-only. Windows and macOS are not supported.
Your microphone.

Audio processing happens locally. Vozena does not send your audio to a cloud service.

Your meeting app still follows its own audio and privacy settings.

Start with the v0.5.0 preview. You’ll need Fedora 44 or Ubuntu 26.04/26.10 x86_64, Python 3.11 or newer, and the tested microphone. Follow the source installation instructions.

- Download and verify
Download vozena-0.5.0-source.tar.gz and SHA256SUMS from the release page. Verify the archive’s checksum before extracting it.
sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS - Prepare your desktop
From the extracted folder, run the setup below. It installs verified audio dependencies and a dedicated Python runtime without opening the app or recording audio.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONSBefore you
Before you
plug in.
Is this a native app or a browser tool?
Vozena is a native Linux desktop app. It uses PipeWire to provide a processed virtual microphone named “Yeti Processado” that you can choose in your calling app. This website never accesses your microphone.
Is this an official Blue or Logitech app?
No. Vozena is an independent open-source project, developed with a classic USB Blue Yeti. Blue Yeti and Logitech are trademarks of their respective owners. Microphone gain and pickup pattern stay on the hardware’s physical controls.
Does it record or upload my conversations?
Vozena processes microphone audio locally and does not upload it. The optional A/B tool records a short 10-second sample only in memory for you to listen back. It is not a conversation recorder.
Will it work with my meeting app?
Enable “Ativar tratamento” in Vozena, then choose “Yeti Processado” in an app that accepts PipeWire audio inputs. Support in your particular meeting app is not guaranteed by the tested desktop setup. Check its input settings and make a test call.
Does it remove echo or every background sound?
Vozena uses RNNoise for noise suppression. Results depend on your room, microphone position, and settings. It does not provide echo cancellation, and no filter can promise to remove every sound.
What does “preview” mean?
v0.5.0 is an early public release, tested on the setup listed above. It is a preview for people comfortable installing a Linux app from source and reporting issues. Broader compatibility still needs testing.
