ooVoo 2.0 Raises Audio Quality Bar Again
At ooVoo, we understand that providing life-like audio and video quality is key to achieving our mission to bring people together, face to face. From the get go, ooVoo has supported state-of- the-art digital video and wideband audio technology that gives our users a communication experience which is far better than a plain old telephone call. To that end, in ooVoo version 1.7, we turned on high resolution video to give ooVoo users crystal clear picture quality. And now, our latest 2.0 release makes another significant experience enhancement with greatly improved audio quality.
Without boring you with too many technical details, here are some highlights:
ooVoo conversations now sound more natural and ever closer to a face-to-face chat. With other VOIP solutions, users either get lousy audio or audio that may appear to be clean but somehow feels unnatural due to over-processing. Our engineers have worked hard to fine tune our audio system to give you the best and most consistent overall experience by balancing a variety of factors that could affect audio conversation quality, such as the type of microphone and sound card the user has, level of background noise presented, quality of user’s internet connection, and whether it is a one-to-one or multiparty call.
ooVoo users can now enjoy excellent quality conversations even over not so good Internet connections. Dropped words and garbled sound occur significantly less often with version 2.0, thanks to the sophisticated network error handling techniques we’ve included.
All this, and there’s no need to worry about how to properly set your audio devices. We understand not everyone is comfortable with navigating the sometimes complex windows settings menu so we have automated the process to give you an optimized ooVoo experience right out of box. And, if you are the DIY type (like many of our power users), simply turn off the automation feature and you can take things into your own hands.
In addition, we have invested in the best-in-class Echo Cancellation technology that has only been previously available on higher end professional video conferencing systems that cost tens of thousands of dollars.
