Voice

 Crystal clear voice conversations.

"Hands down, BitWise IM is still the best voice chat that we've encountered! I can't imagine sound getting better than this. WOW." - M. Scott, USA

BitWise uses Speex audio compression, the voice-optimized subproject of the open-source Ogg Vorbis family of audio tools. The Speex compression provides incredibly clear quality even over dialup connections, and over broadband beats the quality of most telephone calls.

By using direct connections that send voice data using the most direct route, BitWise Voice has minimum lag. Your calls are not routed via other BitWise users, and your computer is not used to route other users' calls. Of course, all voice data is encrypted.

Listen for yourself!
