VOIP and Asp.Net?

Question

Hi,
I want to implement a web application with following features

1. Record a speech
2. Broadcast it through website at a particular time.

Flash media server is one option, but its too costly so am looking for other options. But don't know where to start, please point me in right direction.

Also is there anyway to implement VOIP communication like skype or gtalk directly from my site without a client installation.?

Thanks
Anz

Hello,

The only way I could think of doing such application is using Flash. There is clearly no other *browser independent* way to do so.

I am referring to Recording a speech online. You could make it internet explorer dependent (ONLY) and use Active X controls, but that wont work for variety of websites.

BUT, you could use an alternative such as an APPLET, java applet. Take a look at the following forum: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=444243&start=0

You could use an applet to implement VOIP over the internet or use FLASH or Internet explorer Active X.

GTALK in gmail web application uses Asynchronous javascript to interact coherently and they use only text which is feasable. But to use voice or video, you must use Java Applet or Flash or Active X.

Sorry for the bad news :)

Good Luck
