Computer gamers who play games online should be well aware of the software known as Teamspeak, which would allow players to communicate with each other via spoken audio. For Patrick Norton, an avid gamer of the game World of Warcraft, the push-to-talk feature of Teamspeak just wasn't cutting it for him. Push-to-talk would require the user to press a button that has been bound to the Teamspeak software, in order to activate communications. Unlike Skype where the microphone is continuously running, push-to-talk would cut back on background noises, and users would activate it only when they had something to share.
