Mohawk Voice is a low resource VoIP program originally released in November 2009[1] which is free to download and use. The program is supported on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Mohawk is primarily used with MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) and FPS (First-Person Shooter) online games, targeting PC gamers who have a need for in-game voice communication. Mohawk Voice can also be used as a business application, specifically for conference calls or teleconferences, serving as a replacement for programs like Cisco VoIP and Skype.

Application

Mohawk was developed in the Object Pascal language (known as Delphi) with the intention of targeting online gamers who require low resource, high quality voice transmission over the public Internet. Commonly, the client is used for mass communication in public channels with other gamers, often within a gaming clan or guild. Most frequently, games like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and Counter Strike 1.6 are popular amongst users of VoIP software. Mohawk uses what's known as client–server communication to connect the end user to the server.

Client side

The program features a low profile, easy to navigate[2] GUI (Graphical User Interface). It features a channel tree structure where users interact with one another, private message option, various input and output settings, extensive key-bind features, and a user comment space. Mohawk's overall design is clean and easy to understand for first time users and it supports both voice-activiation and push-to-talk. The client offers four different user levels:

Server side

The Mohawk server is currently only developed for the Windows platform. Server development for the Linux platform is underway and is expected to be included in future releases. The current server supports up to 500 concurrent user connections, and an unlimited amount of server instances per system (limited only by the systems available resources). The server can easily be integrated to a hosting control panel, allowing for simplified configuration changes and server modifications.

Additional features and sound codec

Mohawk offers the ability to encrypt all transmissions, both voice and text, utilizing Blowfish 128-bit Encryption techniques. This feature can be applied on either a per server or per user basis. Mohawk also enables users to use the Microsoft text-to-speech engine, which gives them the ability to have what they type in chat, and what is typed to them, spoken out loud in the voice of Microsoft Sam. Mohawk Voice utilizes the Speex codec to provide low latency, high quality voice transmission[3] at a user defined frequency of 11 kHz, 22 kHz or 44 kHz. Speex is designed specifically for the effective transmission of voice or voice-like sound and is cross-platform compatible[4] (Windows, Linux, Mac OS).

Version 1.1 and future development

Version 1.1 of Mohawk Voice was released on February 27, 2010. Compared to version 1.0, version 1.1 includes multiple user profiles, audio recording, better Windows 7 support, and over 30 bugs fixed.[5] The development team is actively working on the next version of the product, which is currently slated for released in October 2010. Version 1.2 will include Speex codec improvements, automatic-away-from-keyboard notifications, additional bug fixes and other fine tuning.
