SwiffRec lets you record your voice to a Flash file, that can be played (streamed) in any browser by pressing a Play button.

The complete HTML code with the button is created by the program, so all you have to do is insert it into your web page and your visitors can push the button to listen to your recording.

SwiffRec is extremely easy to use, and the intuitive interface lets you create and test your recordings with a few button clicks.

In addition to direct recording, the program can also use any WAV input and convert it to Flash format.

What you do:

Make sure you have the microphone connected and click Record. When finished click Stop. Or simply drag and drop a wave file to the SwiffRec window. Test to make sure it recorded correctly by clicking Test source. If you're happy, click Create SWF.

The hourglass cursor will come on briefly (depending on how long your recording is). Then test the SWF (Shockwave Flash format) output by clicking Test output. An HTML (browser) page will appear with the Play button showing. Click this. You can embed this mini Flash movie in any web page using your web page editor.

How it works:

Your voice is recorded in standard Windows Wave format. It is then converted to MPEG 3 using the LAME MP3 encoder (LAME Mark Taylor, Michael Cheng, www.mp3dev.org).

Flash is generated using the SWFSource library (SWFSource Jesse Ezell). The output SWF file can be played in any program that supports Flash, including most web browsers.
