I never got an answer of this question before

I want to make a chat program using whatever which has a voice chat capability in it. (Like msn messenger)
Can you lead me to a good way to make it please


I am making that because I cannot have a voice conversation in msn messenger because it always disconnects

Please lead me

I've never used it, but only seen it in action:

First on the list, AVPhone. Unfortunately it is not free.

Have you used Netmeeting thats cool video as well!

Well search www.planet-source-code.com for something similar to give you ideas!

You be needing Winsock so if ya not that familiar with it see vb-worlds karls tutorial.

And there is a voice/speech control floating around somewhere on microsofts homepage i think it's called Microsft Agent or Microsoft Direct Speech Recognition component.
I could be wrong..

Good Luck hope this is of some use.

Think I'll give it a try later, but doesn't that mean Netmeeting has to be installed? Or is it another control?

I must say though, MS Agent and DirectSR are for local usage only - they have no recording/sending capabilities (well, DirectSR can save to WAV files)

Well, I can make a chat room by just typing. And I can also use ms agent but the thing is that I want to listen to the person's voice who is chatting with me.... like msn messenger. I cannot find any way to do that.
And by the way, what DirectSR

The only one I've heard of that does that is AVPhone.

DirectSR is Microsoft's Direct Speech Recognition Control.

It is part of teh Speeh SDK suite at www.microsoft.com/speech

Look at PSC and search for 'VoiceChat'.

It is simple, but it works. And you might learn something from it.
