Voice Recorder
Wimba Voice Recorder allows vocal messages to be recorded and played in a web page using small web components (Java applets). They can be embedded into HTML pages and customized to adopt the "look-and-feel" of your website. They can be inserted dynamically by a web engine or simply appear in static pages. They can also be recorded and played in a WebCT/BlackBoard page.
In addition, you can record your own files with your favourite recorder application and "drop" them into the Voice Tools Server to make them available to players. This feature is called the Drop-in API.
