The ability to send and receive digitized audio, is an added enhancement to the PicturePacket terminal program, the "brain-child" of Stan Hunting KW7KW. With PicturePacketPlus, we have the capacity to send and receive high resolution digitized pictures (DIT), but the addition of digital audio transfer (DAT) is a new enhancement to the PicturePacketPlus software. The procedure for "Digital Image Transfer" (DIT) and "Digital Audio Transfer" (DAT) is not new. It is the technique that we are now using that is new. In 1983, I copyrighted and trademarked the DIT and DAT process while using the CoCo; to send and receive pictures and sound.

In the early days of DIT and DAT, we encountered several obstacles, one of which was the slow transfer between stations. Another was the poor quality of the audio, as I had used a proximate sampling method to keep the audio files short. The result was a "reasonable" facsimile (barely recognized) of the original voice. The picture generation was still another story, with similar problems to those I used for audio recovery. Add to that, the pictures were colorless or were displayed in "artifact" (four basic colors) and were difficult to generate.

And now we have refined the process so that we can send and receive these "Digital Image Transfer" and "Digital Audio Transfers" in an integrated format to a target (connected) Packet station in almost real-time.

When the audio (or picture) is received at the target station, it is automatically played through the connected stations sound card speaker (or displayed on the screen). When receiving and audio file, you can hear the message if you have a sound card and software that supports WAV and MP3 digital audio e.g. ''WinAMP, MPlayer.. etc''. The MP3 DAT is the one sent via Packet. A digital voice (DAT), 20 second file, takes about 1 minute to transfer at 9600 bauds.

We did it, and first... Voice and Picture integration via PacketRadio.

Once your personal registration string is installed, the program will have all features activated. To activate PicturePacket from the "Lite" version into the "Plus" version ($29.95), contact Stan Hunting KW7KW:
