Adding a voice recorder to a webpage

king_of_inismac

Hi Guys,

I'm a programmer (MATLAB and C mostly) but need to develop a web-page for another project I'm working on.

It doesn't need to be pretty but it must be functional.

Basically, I want to conduct an interview remotely. I plan on sending people a list of questions and a link to a web-page where I can record their responses.
I've done some HTML/PHP/SQL years ago, but I'm looking for the least painful method.


Thanks,
M

Never tried it myself, but you can probably do this with either Flash or Silverlight (v4). Google should turn up some material, eg;

From some poking around, it's not something you'll be able to do on most shared hosting, you'll need to be running your own servers. It also doesn't sound particularly easy and/or cheap, so unless you really need to do this, I'd give it a miss and have the users email/form submit their answers. It's also going to be a lot easier on the users - they don't have to get a microphone working on the client end.

that's going to be tough to coordinate with your users unless they're a relatively tech savvy market, and if it's not an everyday necessity it seems like a lot of trouble to go to. why not just use skype?

This is pretty awesome

Tasks done by ListenUp:

* ListenUp records audio and uploads it to the server.
* ListenUp downloads audio from the server and plays it.
* ListenUp enables the web developer to change the look of ListenUp or control ListenUp using JavaScript.

Tasks done by You or Your Software:

* Your Software runs on the server.
* You write the script to receive the uploaded audio(same technique used to handle HTML FORM data).
* Your Software can add other funtions such as voice email, voice forums, voice messaging, etc.(we can provide examples).
