I have been looking into doing the same thing with google talk and I also looked into the GIPS VoiceEngine Lite and you are correct it is only a 60 or 90 day free trial. I have been in talks with GIPS and they keep telling me it will cost $18,000 up front for a one time license fee so I ask the same question, why would this work for us..........is there something we are not seeing or over looking here because for that kind of Money why use google talk at all when there are other options such as flash media and other application that are no where near this cost.......someone PLEASE help!!

I am considering using Google Talk software to develop a voice chat application with a UI specifically tailored to meet the needs of the physically disabled. Before I start down that path I need to understand what the licensing restrictions are.

I believe the following are true: 1) For the Microsoft environment, Google Talk must be linked with GIPS VoiceEngine Multimedia Lite. 2) The GIPS software is available with a royality license but the license expires after 60 days.

With an expiration after 60 days it seems of no value for creating an application for distribution.
