Walkietalkie is a small Windows application designed specifically for helping you stream audio on the Internet.This VoIP (Voice over IP) utility allows communication between two users. Both parties need to have the program installed on their computers and microphones.

The comfort of working with portable tools

The portable running mode ensures no entries are stored in your Windows registry and configuration data in your computer.You don’t need to appeal to third-party apps for uninstalling Walkietalkie, as you may simply delete the files that you have grabbed from the Internet.You may drop it on portable media devices such as USB flash drives, carry it with you, and run it on the target system without administrative privileges. You can get access to its GUI by simply opening the executable file (there’s no setup included in the process).

Simple looks

Walkietalkie does not impress in the visual department, revealing a plain and old-fashioned GUI. In case you have some questions regarding the application’s capabilities, you can check out the help manual.

Placing and receiving calls

The application plays sound notifications when someone calls you and logs a message to indicate the caller directly into the main panel. You can initiate calls by entering either a username, IP address or host name of the target computer. In addition, you may specify a port number.Furthermore, you are allowed to select a caller from a drop-down menu, set up a conference and have multiple parties call a single host, automatically answer all calls, as well as enable the push-to-talk mode for streaming your voice.

A few configuration settings

Walkietalkie lets you set up a username (it can be seen by other people when you call them), encrypt communication by adding a password, and change the UDP port number.

Bottom line

All in all, Walkietalkie offers a straightforward software solution for helping you communicate with your friends over the Internet, and can be handled by all types of users, regardless of their experience level. On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for a while, so it may cause compatibility issues especially on newer operating systems.
