Free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application
Voice Chatter is a free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application. It was designed with gaming in mind, but can be used for many other purposes.
Now you can have the best voice quality available on your platform of choice.
Voice Chatter uses UDP for communication for the fastest possible communication. This is why Voice Chatter is capable of providing such low latency for voice communication.It also makes the network code a lot simpler and more efficient.
If someone is dropping a lot of voice packets, they are simply dropped rather than guaranteed to be played at some later time. This also means that there are no more "recaps" of conversations long over like in other voice communication software.
NOTE: Voice Chatter is still under heavy development, but the feature set is large enough to be useful in the general case.
