Customers - Development of .NET Components Libraries for C# and VB.Net Programmers

We were looking for an audio converter library to leverage in a C# .NET application. Finally we found Alvas.Audio library and it definitely met all our needs. This application required us to convert .WAV files on the fly to MP3 to stream them to an IP addressed edge device that is connected to our audio system. The tricky part here was that we needed the application to be multi-threaded so every IP address could run by itself. This multi-threading caused a lot of problems with the Alvas.Audio library but they worked directly with me sending me examples of code and updating their library where they needed to. They even met online with me via a Microsoft LiveMeeting to help diagnose my problems. Their support team is fast and efficient and their dedication to customer service is second to none. We definitely recommend Alvas.Audio because of their easy to use library combined with their great support. - Joseph Aven, Manufacturing Automation Analyst, Dow Corning Corporation (USA)
Alvas Audio is the solution to multimedia that Microsoft forgot to include in its NET 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 foundations. While it is possible to have customers download managed DirectX packages and code to that specification, using Alvas Audio eliminates that extra step which can be confusing for many customers. My students had their software working using Alvas Audio within the same hour they downloaded it. - James Squire, Ph.D. Professor, VMI
Alvas Audio was the answer that we needed to overcome challenges with delivering our phone system’s voice files to our website users in a format that’s easily playable and compact. The fact that the product uses 100% managed .NET code made it a perfect fit in our ASP.NET 3.5 application. Also, the support staff’s quick responses and detailed code samples made implementation very quick and painless. Their support is truly second to none! If you find that you need to convert any audio files for your web application (especially vox like we did), I highly recommend this package library. Thanks a bunch guys! - Don Kitchen, System Architect, The Cleaning Authority (USA)
There is nothing out there that compares to Alvas Audio. I had vox files that needed to be converted, trimmed and streamed. Alvas Audio has made this possible with one simple function. Response time on emails is fantastic. If you need to work with audio, your first stop should be here. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Kris Utley, Network Administrator, SOAP Transcription Services, Inc.(USA)
We had a special project that involved recording voice transcription and storing that data in a SQL database. After doing some research I decided to try Alvas Audio's product. I downloaded the Alvas.Audio C# library demo and quickly realized that this product was exactly what I needed. My only problem was that I didn't have a dedicated C# programmer to finish some of the more complicated IO sections of the application. I contacted Alexander at Alvas tech support and asked if they would be able to help with that section of our application. They were able to help and gave me a very reasonable estimate of the costs. We then had a few online chat meetings to discuss the requirements of my application. Alexander then completed the work very quickly giving me exactly what I was needing to complete my application. As an added bonus he even added a graphic sound level meter that I wanted to use during recordings. Overall I can say that I was extremely pleased with the product, the support and the custom programming. If I need anything else relating to this application I will definitely be contacting Alvas. - Greg Smith, Information Systems Manager, Healthcare Industry (USA)
In the process of creating a dictation platform for radiologists at Austin Radiological Association, we found that the Philips Audio SDK that was meant to be used with the Philips Speechmike was already being used by another software package. This software was essential for daily usage by the radiologists, and we soon found that the dictation solution we had developed was interfering with their use of the other software. After some brainstorming, we came up with the idea of finding an independent audio library that could be used for any speech recording device so that we could: first, divorce our dictation solution from the Philips SDK; and secondly, add support for other recording devices besides just the Philips Speechmike. Alvas Audio was the best choice for this task. With the 100% .NET Alvas Audio libraries, we were able to provide an elegant solution to our problem and increase the usability of our software. - Scot L. Pfuntner, Software Developer, Austin Radiological Association MSO, LLC (USA)
Alvas Audio has been by far one of our best solutions for quickly converting audio files. Rock solid and fast api’s that always work and never falter. We greatly admire the thought and planning that Alvas has engineered into their software tools. The only thing that can top their product is their commitment to their customers. Alvas support is absolutely excellent. - Brent Perrott, Technical Development, PeroLen Software (USA)	PeroLen Software

Our company were looking for a flexible way to convert our native files to mp3 in a multi-threaded environment, using .Net architecture and Alvas provided a great solution where very few others were available. Coupled with very fast and helpful support, I would gladly recommend Alvas. Thank you! - Paul Reynolds, I.T. Developer, Citrus Telecom Ltd (UK)
I have been looking for an audio library to allow me to complete an audio conversion, recording and ripping application for use within primary schools. Before I found the Alvas Audio library I was using a variety of components from several different sources and they required some very careful nurturing to make all the disparate components work properly together. Now all these components have been removed and replaced by the extremely clean interface provided by Alvas library. Alexander was very helpful and, even during his time away, helped me get some problems resolved. This was certainly the best support for software I have received in a long, long time and I expect to work with Alexander for a long time in the future. Thank you for all your help and advice. - Gareth Davies, Managing Director, GDD Ltd, United Kingdom
We as small business owners were looking for a good audio library in order to convert between different audio formats and also resample some audio files. Our requirements was clear that it should work on Windows machine, should not have any external dependencies and should work with C#. Alvas Audio was the clear answer, robust library with price within affordable range. The support guys were really helpful and all the initial problems we faced, were solved within a couple of hours. - Prasad Gurla, PDFaid, Belgium
After looking for an audio recording interface for our software I selected Alvas Audio because of its features and the excellent support offered by Alvas. On two occasions we required some extra functionality in our software. I contracted with Alvas for the code development. In both cases Alvas provided clean well written C# code to implement our functions on schedule and on budget. I highly recommend Alvas Audio. - Doug Havenhill, Manager, Doppler Systems, LLC (USA)
Our custom developed advanced telephony platform records over 50,000 telephone calls every day in WAV format. The third party library we were using to convert these files to MP3 could only convert one file at a time which resulted in our customers waiting over an hour to receive the converted audio files during busy periods. We needed a .NET library that we could use with multi-threading to allow use to convert many WAV file to MP3 in parallel. The Alvas.Audio library was easily integrated into our existing application and the file conversion is super-fast. Our customers no longer need to wait for their call recordings even during busy periods. Alvas.net customer support are excellent, they helped me out with sample code and were very quick to respond to my emails. I would highly recommend Alvas.Audio, great product and excellent support!! - Phil Bell, Solutions Consultant, KCOM Group PLC, United Kingdom.
We’ve used Alvas for years and it has been a great solution for our .Net audio needs. We recently had a new project come in with some unique file format conversions and their support team was able to help us with a great solution. What I really like about Alvas.Audio is that it’s one .Net library that does all we need as opposed to pulling together 2 or 3 libraries from other sources to get what we need. Their support is prompt and very helpful, which is great for those of us who don’t want to spend hours figuring something out they’ve already figured out. I very much recommend Alvas.Net for your .Net audio programming needs. - Justin Hill, Lead Developer, JBHworks, USA
