Can Speak Freely talk to other network voice program?
Yes, as long as the program supports either Internet Real-Time Protocol (RTP) or the protocol used by the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory’s Visual Audio Tool (VAT). Speak Freely automatically detects which protocol a program is sending and displays the protocol in the connection window. When transmitting to a user running an RTP or VAT compatible program, be sure to set Options/Protocol to the protocol that program requires. Many commercial Internet voice programs use proprietary protocols to guarantee users can only talk to others with the same program. Until the vendors of these products adopt RTP as a means of communicating with other voice applications, it will not be possible to communicate with users of such products.
