The SharpVoice Network is a Peer-to-Peer Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system that provides clear PC-to-PC and PC-to-Phone communications over a dial-up or broadband connection. It includes client software that you download onto your system and a suite of services that we provide to allow additional services such as buddy lists.

Simply register as a member, download the sharpVoice Client software, add a buddy to your buddy list (PC-to-PC) or purchase a calling card (PC-to-Phone) and begin calling. If you are familiar with using instant messenger software, you will find the sharpVoice Client easy to understand and use.

Easy to use. sharpVoice software is simple to install, quick to configure, and easy to use. Anyone who can use instant messaging software will find sharpVoice familiar and intuitive.

Crystal clear voice quality. Let’s face it, if a conversation isn’t clear, very little else matters. That’s why the sharpVoice Network uses a proprietary voice transport technology to ensure the clearest conversations even over dial-up connections.

Talk to more people. sharpVoice PC-to-Phone Services allows you to call people on their telephones as well as their computers. Working with our calling card partners we are able to offer great rates for long distance PC-to-Phone calls.

Voice Conferencing ability. Connect to multiple people and expand your conversation. Each participant in a sharpVoice call can conference in additional parties.

Peer-to-Peer connections. Unlike many Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) programs, the sharpVoice Client works Peer-to-Peer without a central server. This means that there does not have to be an expensive server running for people to communicate.

Lower delay times. Because connections are Peer-to-Peer, the delay between a person speaking and the other person hearing it is significantly reduced.

Call people using the buddy list. Rather than having to know technical information about people you want to talk to in order to call them, you can just add their names to your buddy list and connect with the click of a button. The buddy is maintained on the server so if you move the software to a new PC, your buddy list moves with you.

Record and play back conversations. Record conversation for later listening.

Reliable and well-tested. sharpVoice has been in use since 1999 and has been successfully used on tens of thousands of computers.

Highly Compatible. The sharpVoice Client can run on virtually any Microsoft Windows™ computer including Windows 95/NT/98/ME/XP/2000/2003. It is less than 1 MB in size and uses very little system resources. It is compatible with all major sound cards.

Firewall Friendly. The sharpVoice Client is specifically designed to work well behind firewalls. It has a network configuration wizard that helps users configure and test their firewall settings. The voice component only requires a single network port that can be configured on a person-by-person basis. This allows multiple people to accept calls behind a firewall even if they only have one publicly-accessible Internet address. It also supports the use of HTTP Proxy servers.

Network Friendly. sharpVoice calls use very little network bandwidth compared to other Voice over IP solutions. We use a proprietary combination of a highly-efficient packet streaming with automatic silence detection to minimize network bandwidth usage.
