This morning I spent some time chatting again with Peter Csathy, CEO at Sightspeed. As I noted here yesterday, the new Sightspeed has now been released. It's labelled version 4.6 as an early peek at the version 5 that's coming soon. The podcast of our chat is now up online in the Realtime Community.

Peter and I initially connected via Sightspeed and I captured the screenshot below so you can see the Sightspeed interface firsthand, and see Peter face-to-face. The small picture in the lower right corner is me. After our intial connection, Peter used the new Sighspeed Phone Out feature to call me on my SkypeIn number so I could record the podcast. So what you'll here is a call from Sightspeed, out over the PSTN, to Skype. The quality is pretty darn good, and overall I'm pleased with the result. Multiple VoIP connections and the PSTN can indeed work together in the mix to provide good voice quality.



I'd like to thank Peter again for sharing his valuable time as we all get ready for a holiday weekend here in the States. For those of you who haven't tried Sightspeed yet, I encourange you to go grab the free software and check it out for yourselves. It's a pretty amazing collaboration tool that takes vidoeo conferencing for the PC used to a whole new level
