My solution to Carrying Voices is not very sophistocated. It would involve using identical voice recorders.

Make sure the labels are easily removed and replaced, such as post-it strips.

The crucial element would be to put the recorders in a box (or I prefer two boxes) which gives trap door access to an assistant hidden beneath the table. I suppose it could be worked without an assistant if the magician was seated at the table and could use one hand above the table while making the switch below.

The recorders would need to be switched and the labels switched as well.

I think something elaborate, like having two boxes with "electrical terminals" on them and byplay involving the connecting of wires could be sufficiently distracting, and if the magician worked sometimes with one hand and sometimes with the other, it would probably help to further misdirect from the action under the table.
