Hi,
I'm running Jaguar 10.2.8 and a little frustrate that there are no chat apps available with speech function. Yahoo and MSN messenger have speech capability for PC but not for Mac. iChat only has speech with Panther, but even then just betweent Macs(?)
Anyone know of an app that I haven't thought of?
Thank you! Greg
From the Fire Faq:
When will Fire support Audio and Video Chat?
Many of the instant messaging applications in the marketplace are beginning to support Audio and Video chat. At this point in time, Fire does not support this type of chat mechanism. However, there is considerable interest in providing that support in the future. One of the primary obstacles is that each instant messaging provider is using their own mechanism for these technologies. Because of this, Fire will have to develop solutions for each of the instant messaging solutions independently. Some work on support for Audio and Video has begun, but it will be some time before anything is released. Based upon the current staff working on this, our priority for release of support is as follows:
* Yahoo! Webcam
* iChat AV (audio and video)
* H.323 (Microsft NetMeeting)
* VoIPSome of the protocols will be difficult to implement, because they use patented encoding schemes which are not publicly available for MacOS X. These include:
* Yahoo! Voice Chat
* AIM Voice ChatThere are also some protocols which still require more research before we can put them on our priority list:
* MSN Messenger Voice and Video Chat
* AIM Video Chat (currently being developed by AOL)A great deal of work remains to be done before full support for these items is available. However, it is definitely something that the Fire team is interested in providing.
