QuickTalk Client for Windows extends the QuickTalk VoIP system to the desktop PC platform, making it an ideal solution for office employees who (a) would like a quick and easy way to communicate with mobile workers who are running QuickTalk for Windows Mobile,
or (b) would like an easy way to talk to other office employees over their own PCs. All that's required is a Windows PC, speakers and a noise cancelling microphone (or a PC headset), and a login id into their company's QuickTalk Server (see the QuickTalk Server download for more info on it).
The QuickTalk for Windows user interface is similar to the mobile version's interface in that there are four tabs: My Contacts, My Site, Other Sites, and Log. But unlike the mobile version, there's no need to hold down the Talk button while talking. Just click the Talk button once to initiate a conversation, and click the Bye button when you're ready to hang up.
Tip #1: Don't put your mouth too close to the mic. If the other person in the conversation says that your voice is not clear, move the mic further from your mouth until you sound normal on the other end of the line.
Tip #2: Use a noise cancelling microphone or PC headset. You can get one for around $20 to $30, but stay away from the $10 microphones that don't provide noise cancellation or you will probably hear an echo when using QuickTalk. Any headset that says it supports "voice recognition" would be a good choice since that usually indicates a better quality headset. But as for desktop microphones, we really like this one.
