SPIRIT announces Java version of TeamSpirit, voice engine for multipoint IP conferencing.

SPIRIT, a supplier of embedded software products for digital voice communication, has announced TeamSpirit Java, a Java version of TeamSpirit, the company's voice engine for multipoint IP conferencing. The primary distinguishing feature of TeamSpirit is the multipoint mode that enables dozens of users to participate in a conference simultaneously; it doesn't matter how many participants take part in the conference--their speech still remains clear and easy to understand even during simultaneous talk. TeamSpirit Java is a Java library for creating Java applets to enable the following user abilities:

* Any user can join an IP conference from any remote location with limited network access.

* Any user can connect to voice mail or another voice stream server (including RTSP and other media broadcast servers) from a remote location with limited network access. All features are accessible from the Web and provide maximum Web privacy.

To join a conference, the user simply clicks on the conference URL in the invitation e-mail (if any) or types it in the browser address toolbar. The Java applet will be downloaded to cache, and the user can instantly listen to the real-time conference without installing any client-side software.

No special codecs or players are downloaded or installed on the user's PC. This feature enables remote conference access from any public PCs, even those with strictly limited access rights.
