Interfaces

QuickVoice is skinnable. The QuickVoice Faces folder contains resource files with interfaces that can be used as examples.  A detailed description of building QuickVoice faces will be released in the future. Our sincere thanks to Paul Johnson (Alloy), Jérémie Hornus (X Interface), Nathanael Neveux (Socket) and Rob Gentile (VPen) for their QuickVoice interfaces!

Sound Input

MacOS Sound Preferences do not provide for Sound Input settings usable by QuickVoice.  Use the QuickVoice Sound Preferences (Edit menu) to select a built-in or external microphone (e.g. iMic USB). 

Sound compression is also selectable from QuickVoice Sound preferences. For optimal recording leave sound compression at IMA 4:1, sample rate at 44k, sample size at 16bit, mono.  For QuickVoice email messages, we recommend QualCom PureVoice (9:1) compression for smaller message files with decent quality.

@ (Send) Button

The QuickVoice recorder @Send button is used to send QuickVoice email messages. At present Mail X, Microsoft Entourage and Microsoft Outlook Express (if enabled in the QuickVoice Preferences) are supported.  We are currently developing additional compression routines. Since QuickVoice is constantly being enhance it is suggested that you visit our website regularly to ensure you have the most current version of QuickVoice.
