Push-to-talk for Linux

This gnome application allows one to assign a key (by default F12) that will unmute one's microphone while pushed.

Dependencies

• setuptools
• pygtk
• Xlib

On Ubuntu, this is as easy as running sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-gtk2 python-xlib.

Installation

1. Edit ffmpeg parameters in application.py as wanted
2. Run sudo python setup.py install.
3. Run 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.

Changing the Push-to-talk Key

1. Right-click on the microphone icon in your system tray.
2. Click 'Set Key'.
3. Press the key you'd like to use.
