FAQs
What browsers does Chatterbox run on?
Chatterbox requires support for HTML5 “Canvas”, which means an up-to-date version of your browser. It has been tested on the latest versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and others on both PC and Mac. However facilities like recording your own voice may not be available on all browsers. For optimum performance, we recommend Google Chrome.
What are the hardware requirements?
If the hardware is capable of running the latest browsers, it should be capable of running Chatterbox. A reasonably fast internet connection is recommended.
Can we run this product on our own LMS?
Chatterbox runs under the “Chatterbox Portal” that has been especially customised for schools. All the facilities of the product including user-defined packs require this. But please contact us if you’d like to discuss a SCORM version.
Can we run this product on our own server?
If you want to run a version of our Portal on your own server we are very willing to discuss this. Please contact us!
Does it run on tablets and mobile devices?
Chatterbox has now been optimised for tablets as well as PCs, though it requires a reasonable screen size so is not recommended for mobile phones. Recording now works on nearly all devices - please contact us if you have a problem with this.
Do I require an internet connection to run this product?
Yes. At the moment this product requires connection to the internet. But we are looking at ways of providing a version that does not require a connection, and if there is sufficient demand we hope to make this available in the future.
What foreign languages do you offer?
We offer over 120 different languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin and Chinese, and we plan to add more in the future!
Are you adding any additional card packs?
Yes! We will be regularly uploading new content for the core curriculum subjects.
Can I make my own card packs?
This is now available. Login as a teacher and select "Pack Builder" to try it.
