Use one of the prebuilt profiles or create your own. You can also find and connect to your friends easily. Based on instant messaging technology, Game Voice's connection management software lets users quickly and easily find and connect to their friends. It also shows users when their friends are online. And you can talk to your PC. Game Voice includes a quality voice-cancellation mic for optimal speech recognition.
Buyer Reviews :
Well, when first considering to buy this product, I was a bit hesitant. I also knew there were other viable options out there for less or no money. One of my biggest worries was performance. I am an Everquest addict, and knowing the game takes a lot of resources to play, I was worried that Game Voice just wouldn't cut it. However, after setting Game Voice to run at a higher priority in the background processes, there was little or no performance reduction. Another worry was voice recognition. However, after some game play, I noticed very little mixups in voice recognition. After adjusting the Mic volume, voice recognition errors were non-existant. Something I haven't tested yet and that worries me, is using the chat channels to talk with other players over the internet. If you're behind a NAT/Router setup on your DSL, connection might pose a problem. However, I've run across a few player groups in Everquest that seem to be using this functionality without issue. I also have a Microsoft Strategic Commander, and one thing I like about Game Voice over Commander, is that Game Voice's command list can be bigger than MSC's. One arguement not to use Game Voice as opposed to a product like Strategic Commander(multiple button combinations) is that the command response time is a bit slower than a multi-button console. Well, depending on what game you have, this might be more or less true. However, when I measure the keyboard/Multi-Console and Mouse operations necessary to do some functions in the game, it can be very unwielding to perform all of these functions(while running/moving etc in the game). Whereas the ease of just saying a few commands(leaving hands free for other operations) in Game Voice makes it a very attractive addition to the gamer's arsenal in the world of today's challenging games.
