Voice-over-IP software with superior effects and positioning.
Ventrilo is a VoIP and messenger utility to communicate with your voice or text over a peer-to-peer network which the user has control over.
The application includes several different types of effects which allow the user to use the program as a kind-of novelty program. It also has a TTS voice which lets you know when people are connecting or disconnecting to/from the server.
The program interface invites the user to configure many of the options and features of the program. Though complicated, the program is also very advanced making Ventrilo perfect for professionals.
Complicated to learn your way around in, the default settings are certainly easy to get started with and when comparing Ventrilo to Windows Messenger, it certainly isn't bloated.
