MorphVOX has a clean and simple user interface. Reduced clutter and intuitively placed controls make it easy-to-use. The full view appears by default when you first start up the application. It has a number of useful features:
- Alias Picture: displays the image associated with the currently selected voice. You can click on this picture to hear a sample sound from the voice.

- Voice List: displays a list of all the voice presets. It has all the information associated with each voice. The bold face title in the top node of the view represents a group of voice presets. Each row below the title is an voice preset. The colored indicator indicates learning with your voiceprint. If it is dark, no learning has taken place; if it is green, then the voice has learning information associated with it. Click on the small speaker on the right side of the row to hear the sample sound from the voice.
