Digital Audio Processor and Converter

Do You Need:

To convert to and from a wide variety of audio formats?

To "chop" a sequence of recordings into separate files?

To adjust the volume across all your voice prompts?

To automatically crop silence from the beginning and ending of files?

To filter touch-tones from your files?

To add conversion capabilities to your Windows and DOS programs?

Audio ToolBox makes converting and cleaning up your sound files a breeze. Improve all of your prompts with just one command, leveling out the volumes, removing dead air and background noise. Most voice developers find the Audio ToolBox is a must when creating a voice system. It makes the system sound like a million bucks with very little effort on your part.

Are you having problems working with sounds recorded in different formats on different devices? Do you want to improve the way you produce your voice prompts? Would you like to simplify the maintenance of incoming prompts? Would you like to improve the quality of your existing prompts?

Audio ToolBox is the ONLY professional quality conversion utility for the MS-DOS® and Microsoft Windows® operating systems — and the only tool that does all this!

Audio ToolBox

As a developer, you probably run into many situations where you would like to improve the quality of the audio. Over the past ten years, our customers have asked for tools to record, edit and review prompts with any audio system, improve the way they produce voice prompts, and simplify maintenance of their current systems.

We’ve assembled a set of tools that make it easier for you to do just that. We’ve made these utilities small and fast, since most voice developers work with a large number of files. We’ve made these tools run unattended since many developers need to bulk process their existing messages. We’ve tried to provide sophisticated processing options with a simple user interface to make it all work together.

You decide. For a risk free test drive, download our "Working Demo". We think you’ll like it!
