First successful tests of AEC. Stay tuned.

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Adobe has informed that they are working on AEC support in Flash Player and it will be available later in the next release after 10.1, but we don’t want to wait another few years. In FP 10.1 we got access to microphone samples and playback samples and it makes possible to use some AEC. Although there are a lot of problems (only 44KHz playback mode) and async events firing our first tests showed that it actually works, but still have to solve some minor problems and adjust AEC for better quality. Prepare to have up to 40-50% of CPU load when AEC is working, but for most people AEC is worth it.

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Hello. As you maybe now Google released first ChromeOS version yesterday. We have tested it and found that Flash Player 10.0.32.18 has been built-in. And yes, that means that Flaphone works in ChromeOS, so we already have VoIP client available for new OS! I remind you that you can use Flaphone to make VoIP calls to PSTN/Mobiles using any SIP provider you want, make calls to Skype or SIP, callme widgets will also work in ChromeOS. Great news!
