Add push-to-talk functionality to Linux
WARNING: This project has long-since been unmaintained and is very unlikely to still be usable as-is on modern versions of Gnome. Good luck, though!
This gnome application allows one to assign a key (by default F12) that will unmute one's microphone while pushed.
On Ubuntu, this is as easy as running sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-gtk2 python-xlib
.
sudo python setup.py install
.ptt
.If the application immediately closes with the message "You must log-out and log-in again for your system tray icon to appear.", log-out and log-back in again; a system settings change was required.
