SquidCam is fully comptaible with dictation software, such as iListen from MacSpeech, Inc. We highly recommend this software if you require speech-to-text services (e.g. hands-free text communication with a deaf friend/client).
Requirements:
Any Macintosh computer running MacOS X (minimum of 10.1.5 recommended; compatible with MacOS X 10.2) or Windows (Win2k or WinXP recommended) with access to a TCP/IP (LAN and/or Internet) connection. A microphone and camera are not necessary, but obviously allow you to send audio and video during your communications session. At this time, SquidCam will only communicate with other SquidCam clients.
