I never got an answer of this question before

[abdul]

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.

[sunnyl]

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)

[abdul]

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

[sunnyl]

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.
