RESPONSIVE REAL-TIME COLLABORATOR WITH AUDIO CHANNEL

Responsive Real-Time Collaborator with Audio Channel, or simply, RTCollaborator, is a user-friendly web application using a responsive layout web design that supports voice and text chat and also has a shared board tool. The application allows users to draw on the board, make flowchart diagrams and see each other's changes, drawings and writings at real-time. RTCollaborator solves the problems brought by email communication like long hours of waiting for responses and less effective communication. It also solves the problem of spending a lot of time, money and effort to communicate with other people. With RTCollaborator, users can get in touch with others virtually. Users can exchange information and collaborate with each other without bringing them together in one place. New technologies are used for the implementation. It is built using the Node.js platform which is very good for data-intensive and real-time applications. Socket.io and WebSockets are used along with Javascript for establishing connections and for implementing the main features of the application-the voice chat and the shared board tool. Experiments show that RTCollaborator performs with about 92% efficiency.
