About Voice Chatter

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.

Why write Voice Chatter? Because there is no voice communication application that I am aware of that has excellent voice quality, AND supports all major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac). I am a Linux hobbiest, and I would like to play games on it. However, the the two most popular applications either don't support Linux or have inferior voice quality.

Now you can have the best voice quality available on your platform of choice.

I still need help! What I need most is a mac developer, but I could also use a linux developer, and maybe a graphic artist. See the contribute page for details.

VoiceChatter 0.9.7 Released

VoiceChatter 0.9.7 has been released! Major changes include:

  • Fixed text to speech on linux/mac
  • Improved input and output quality at high volumes
  • More control over inbound/outbound volume modifiers
  • New server admin dialog
  • Improved default audio device detection

Only the windows and linux versions have been released due to my current inability to build the mac port. It will be released as soon as I can get a build together. I'm still looking for a mac person for building the mac ports. A linux person wouldn't hurt either. See the contribute page if you would like to help out.

UPDATE: A major flaw was found with this version that has now been corrected. If you crash while trying to connect, re-download and reinstall VoiceChatter, and the problem should be fixed.

UPDATE 2: The mac version has been completed and released. It is built on OSX 10.5 on an intel processor. It it known not to work with ppc, and it may not work with earlier versions of OSX. If you run into problems and your mac is not running OSX 10.5 or an intel processor, then you will have to build from source. I am always available through email or the forums if you need help with building.
