Softpedia Editor's Review for Teamspeak Client
|
Speak with other people on the Internet
Written by Elena Opris on November 4th, 2011
What is the easiest way to chat with friends or even people you don't know? An instant messenger service, like Yahoo Messenger?
Typing only takes you so far. Eventually you get bored or tired of writing, and would rather talk.
Skype? It's a great piece of software, but you need more freedom when it comes to channels.
TeamSpeak 3 is a voice chatting tool that allows you to easily speak with people from all over the world over a channel. All you need is a server and a password.
Configuring it is very easy because TeamSpeak 3 is probably one of the best organized and well-documented software ever created. It offers information, tips and explanation every step of the way.
Once installation is complete, you are provided with the Setup Wizard Steps, so you don't get lost right from the beginning.
After this, you have to test your microphone by adjusting the level of your voice (TeamSpeak takes into consideration the background sounds, whispers and breathing), and optionally assign hotkeys to enable Microphone Mute and Speaker Mute.
Tips are offered every step of the way. For example, when you choose your nickname, the software tells you this is only to display your identity, and not in any way connected to a username (which is usually permanent in other similar software).
Voice Activation Detection or Push-To-Talk can be enabled, so the software automatically recognizes your voice and displays your nickname to the other users, or awaits your command to do so.
What you need to do now is log on to a server, and start chatting with your friends. It's that simple!
CPU and memory resources are moderately used, and we haven't experienced any crashes or found any errors.
As a word of advice that TeamSpeak doesn't tell you: make sure not to play music on the background because it is heard by other users. And this might deeply disturb them (as it happened in our case).
So, if you want one of the best available software for voice chatting purposes, then you'll definitely like TeamSpeak 3.
