What's the difference between remote voice tracking in a browser versus using PlayIt VoiceTrack desktop application?

Both methods allow you to record voice tracks remotely into PlayIt Live or PlayIt Manager, and both let you reorder tracks in the playout log and add tracks from the server's track library. The main differences are in platform compatibility and interface.

Browser-based remote voice tracking (recommended) works on any operating system including Windows, Mac and Linux. You'll need a Chrome-based browser such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Vivaldi. Simply visit your station's remote URL in the browser, log in, and select your voice tracking slot. The browser downloads the start and end portions of tracks, and you can record directly using your microphone through the browser. All changes are immediately sent back to the server.

PlayIt VoiceTrack desktop application is a Windows-only solution that provides the same remote voice tracking functionality through a dedicated desktop interface. It offers the same editing capabilities as the browser version for recording voice tracks, adjusting segues, reordering the playout log, and adding tracks from the server.

Both methods require the same credentials (remote URL, username and password) from your station administrator. Remote voice trackers don't need to purchase the Voice Tracking module themselves - the licence is only required on the PlayIt Live system that broadcasts the voice tracks. The number of concurrent remote users is limited based on the Voice Tracking module purchase, with unlimited concurrent voice trackers available with the Premium Module Bundle.
