The No-Nonsense Solution to Real-Time Voice Protection in Gaming
April 16, 2025
At VoicePatrol, we believe that protecting players from the worst kinds of voice chat toxicity shouldn't be complicated—or corporate. So we built a system that does exactly what studios need: it detects and acts on severe incidents in under 30 seconds, works seamlessly with your existing tools, and is affordable enough for full coverage at scale.
We’re already working with studios like Trass Games, creators of Yeeps: Hide & Seek, who came to us with a clear problem: they wanted real-time voice protection that didn’t slow down their team or alienate their players.
“Working with VoicePatrol has felt more like collaborating with a dev team than a vendor,” said Jack Southard, Co-Founder and CEO of Trass Games. “They moved fast, adjusted to our systems, and helped our human moderators stay focused on the stuff that matters.”

We’ve intentionally avoided using the word “moderation” to describe what we do—because it’s become synonymous with over-policing. The reality is, many moderation tools today are either too heavy-handed or too slow to act when it counts.
As our CEO and Machine Learning Engineer Matei Trebien puts it:
“The word 'moderation' has come to mean control—an overcorrection that often stifles genuine interaction. What we’re focused on is protection: acting quickly on the most serious threats without policing every conversation or every friendly ‘f**k you’. It’s about creating a better experience for players, not micromanaging them.”
That philosophy shapes everything we do. Our models don’t rely on outdated keyword detection. They look at context, tone, and intent—and only act on the highest-risk, clearly harmful incidents like hate speech, harassment, and illegal activity.

Getting started with VoicePatrol takes about four minutes. No long onboarding cycles, no complicated infrastructure, and no contracts that lock you in. Just connect, configure, and go.
And yes—it’s affordable. At just $0.08 per audio-hour, our platform is priced so that any studio—not just AAA publishers—can cover 100% of their voice traffic. That’s critical, because partial coverage means missed incidents, broken trust, and ultimately, lost players.
Here’s what our current partners are seeing within weeks of launch:
It’s not just about safety. It’s about business.
