[–] janpot 6y ago ↗ Fun fact: did you know in French they say "Talkie Walkie" instead of "Walkie Talkie"? [–] jraph 6y ago ↗ Yeah, do you happen to know why it is reversed in French? [–] quickthrower2 6y ago ↗ There is no natural right way around. Walk and talk; talk and walk. [–] qvdev 6y ago ↗ fun fact :+1:

[–] jquip 6y ago ↗ Just tested 5-10 mins back.A few issues.Some latencies are present. PTT button pushed propagation time perhaps. Audio stream is a little glitchy sometimes.Some words/syllables repeat 5-15 times. This effect is seen in message starting and endings usually but also in between sentences.Message drops before a person releases the button. They say a sentence but get cut off halfway.But on the whole... a nice thing :)
