QuickRecord 2 is a compact application for recording and playing sound on a Microsoft Windows PC. Recording and playing back directly to and from disk files, QuickRecord 2 maintains the simplicity of the standard Windows Sound Recorder applet but without the restrictions. QuickRecord 2 is ideally suited to personal recording and playback of speech and music, and business applications including live music, conferences, meetings, and call centers. QuickRecord 2 is based on the MSSR210 ActiveX control, which can be incorporated into any application requiring the incorporation of similar sound recording or playback.
