We can digitize your vocal or musical presentations in a variety of formats for playback on the web in streaming audio format. The most popular formats are Real Audio, True Speech and Vivo Audio. On this page is an example of streaming audio using True Speech which doesn't require any special server software or licensing fees to use.

True Speech is an audio plug-in available from DSP Group which will allow you to listen to vocal presentations in real time. The sound files we've included as an example on this page are highly compressed and will begin playing within seconds of when you click on them. That means no sitting and waiting for the download to finish and the action to begin! In addition to high quality sound, the excellent compression means very small file sizes.

To add even more dimension to your listening experience, we're even illustrating how you'll still be able to listen to our background music while you hear a True Speech vocal presentation at the same time!

If you find the background music too loud in comparison to our vocal presentations, it's usually because of the relative WAV and MIDI volume settings in your sound control panel. A very quick way to override these settings to achieve a good balance between the MIDI background music and the vocal presentations is to double click on the Crescendo icon at the bottom of this page, and then set the MIDI volume output to something less than full.

Make sure to bookmark our site now before going to get your plug-in from DSP Group. Please note that if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher, you don't need the plug-in as the audio stream is recognized by Explorer's built-in ActiveMovie Player. ActiveMovie will play many audio formats supported in Windows 95, including TrueSpeech. When the Play button becomes active, you can begin playing while the file is downloading. If you need help installing their plug-in, please refer to our help guide below.

So if you're tired of reading web page after web page, lean back and relax; even close your eyes, and we'll tell you all about ourselves and what we can do for you.
