Network and single station requirements/hardware configuration

WiViK has been designed for individual workstations with single or multiple users. That is, only one user may run a single installation of WiViK at a time. However, that copy of WiViK may open and run more than one user keyboard and vocabulary file. There are no limits on the number of users on one WiViK installation.

Sound cards

Any sound card may be used, although cards that support multiple output channels are required if other software is used that fully occupies a sound channel (e.g., RealPlayer). Competing sound applications must be turned off while using WordQ with single-channel sound cards. External speakers may be used, but headphones are suggested for classroom use. Text-to-speech voices are included with a telephone frequency range suitable for lower quality headsets.
