How it works: Tips and System Requirements
Using the microphone
Our multimodal interface option allows you to make choices by speaking or pressing buttons at any moment. The Talkhouse Media Player is "push and hold" the microphone only stays on as long as you continue to hold the space bar. Start speaking when the microphone light is on and let go of the space bar only when you've finished speaking.
Customizing your look
To change the look of your player download a skin file, put it somewhere safe, and then just drag the skin onto the player. In a few seconds the player will completely change its look. You can also drag your own pictures onto the player or customize it with your favorite team's logo. Check back with us as we'll be releasing additional skins soon.
System requirements
Hardware:
Supports Windows XP® or WindowsVista®, Mac OSX 10.48 or higher, and Linux operating systems with keyboard repeat turned off.
Software:
Requires 500 MB RAM and 150 MB disk space
Microphone:
Most laptops have a built in microphone which will work just fine with the Talkhouse Media Player. Just about any inexpensive ($10) computer microphone works well. Headsets are not at all necessary.
Compatibility:
You can play music on your computer's hard drive or on any device connected to your computer (portable MP3 player, external disc drive or NAS). Ogg Vorbis & FLAC are supported on all operating systems. Mp3, M4a, M4p are supported on both Windows and OS X. WMA support is limited to Windows.
Talkhouse is compatible with music libraries created with other third party media players such as iTunes?. In the Talkhouse setup process, just select the folder where your music library exists and Talkhouse will be able to play that music.
