What is it?
A Flash audio recorder for your web site. You can buy it today (or request a trial) and install it on your own web site for your web site members to use. Check out the requirements first though!
Why it's good:
(see also requirements and how it works)- It can be seamlessly integrated with your existing web site (Java Script, Php and Asp API's).
- Prevents users from recording non stop (ability to limit recording time)
- Works with localized version of web sites (can be translated to any language using the external .xml language file).
- Uses Industry standard file format is used for saving the audio data (records directly to .flv files, flv is the default audio container in Flash).
- Uses Industry standard audio codec is used (the audio is encoded using the NellyMoser or Speex audio codecs built into Flash Player who are specifically tailored for voice recording).
- Its Platform independent. The audio recorder is developed in Flash which means it will work on Windows, Linux, Os X, Chrome, Firefox, IE, you name it!
- Supports all media servers (FMIS, Red5 and Wowza).
- No echo effect.
- You can modify the UI or functionality (source files are available for purchase, Flash CS4 .fla file with AS3 code).
Requirements:
(see also features and how it works)- A web site, where to upload the audio recorder.
- A media server, you have 3 options:
- Red5 (0.7 or 0.8, free) installed on a dedicated server or VPS. You can get a dedicated server or VPS with Red5 pre-installed from hostv.com . Red5 0.9.x is NOT supported.
- FMIS (1.5, 2, 3 or 3.5,commercial) installed on a dedicated or VPS server. FMIS hosting is also available for as low as $10/month (influxis.com, uvault.com)
- Wowza (commercial) installed on a dedicated server or VPS.
How it works:
(see also features and how it works)- You install the audio recorder on your web site and media server.
- The user goes to the web page on your web site where the audio recorder is located/embedded and starts recording.
- The audio recorder grabs raw audio from the mic, encodes it and streams the encoded audio to the media server.
- The media server saves the incoming data in a .flv file. This .flv file can be played back later directly from the media server via streaming or moved to a web server for delivery via http (download & progressive download playback).
- The name, size and other info about the new recording is sent to the JS, Php and Asp API's (to be saved in a database, etc...).
I want to try it first, give me a 30 day trial for my web site!
