Flash is the standard for interactive vector graphics and animation
for the Web. Web designers use Flash to create beautiful, resizable,
and extremely compact navigation interfaces, technical illustrations,
long-form animations, and other dazzling effects for their site.
Graphics and animation will anti-alias and scale based on the viewer's
screen size, providing high-quality viewing. TrueSpeech is a high quality speech compression software that compresses speech down to as much as 1/40th its original size. Since regular speech files are normally large, compression using TrueSpeech enables them to be transferred faster and more easily. Support for TrueSpeech real-time audio is available for use in your Web pages. Real
Networks' RealAudio and RealVideo system a client-server based
streaming media delivery system for the Internet. Providers of news,
entertainment, sports, and business content can create and deliver
audio-based streaming multimedia content through the Internet to
audiences worldwide. HTTP
streaming is an alternative approach to serving Real Audio files on
the Web. Although this technique is not well-suited for high-volume
sites serving numerous simultaneous streams, many smaller Web sites
can benefit tremendously from this simple and inexpensive approach.
This technique relies on HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) which is
already used by all Web servers to store and transmit ordinary text
and graphics files on the Web. Click
