Raty uses the jQuery Raty library: http://wbotelhos.com/raty to enable a 'no-hassle' field input widget &/or output formatter for any numeric-storage field. It also provides a new Views filter for any numeric field.
Unlike Rate & Fivestar (which are awesome modules!), there is no major voting backend to Raty. However, you can still simulate this behavior to a degree since you can use Raty as the input widget for any numeric field on an entity.
