OpenSim ~ HyperGrid : Echo Voice a drop in Replacement for Vivox Is On It's Way

By Avatar JayR Cela

    EchoVoice is another project coming from the IMA Infinite Metaverse Alliance ) the same folks that have brought us the SceneGate for OpenSim only viewer. It is based on the Mumble and Murmur, open source Voice communication protocols, a closed testing period is just about ready to begin. I will be keeping you informed of the progress, if all goes well there should be an open Beta happening sometime later this year.

    Ya know what this is going to be very kool indeed, I am so sick and tired of making the Vivox Voice Service work in Linux via WINE, ( a Windows compatibly layer that allows Linux users to run native Windows programs in the Linux environment ) and this has been good for me because I can actually get voice to work again and I do not need to boot into the horrid piece of garbage Windows10.

    Hopefully all will go as planned and Linux users will once again be able to use in-world Voice again without having to rip your hair out of your head trying to get WINE to work propelry, and BTW EchoVoice will work with Mac & Windows as well.
