The core of this tutorial is a simulation of an
LPC vocoder. The simulation is realized by an Java applet. The
main functions of the simulation can be used in any java capable
browser, but the microphone feature requires Netscape
Communicator 4.0.6 (or later) on the Windows platform and the
installation of two files:
- Download (with right-mouse-click) SoundBite.dll
and move it into Netscape's Java/Bin/ directory (often
C:Programme/Netscape/communicator/Program/Java/Bin/).
- Download (with right-mouse-click)
com.scrawl.sound.jar and move it into Netscape's
Java/Classes/ Directory (often
C:Programme/Netscape/communicator/Program/Java/Classes/).
or
-
Download soundbite.zip, extract the files
SoundBite.dll and com.scrawl.sound.jar and move these files into the correct Netscape's directories (see 1. and 2.).
Once the files has been installed Netscape must be relaunched.
These files are based on the shareware product SoundBite 1.0 developed by
Scrawl and are supported here
