Recall.ai -Desktop audio and meeting recording SDK
If you’re building desktop audio capture or meeting recording into your app, check out Recall.ai’s Desktop Recording SDK. It lets developers record audio, video, and transcripts from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, in-person meetings, and other desktop audio sources without building the recording infrastructure from scratch or maintaining the infrastructure as you build your product.
CSCore - .NET Audio Library
CSCore is a free .NET audio library which is completely written in C#. Although it is still a rather young project, it offers tons of features like playing or capturing audio, en- or decoding many different codecs, effects and much more!
CSCore is based on a very extensible architecture which allows you to make it fit to your needs without any major effort. You can build music players, voice chats, audio recorders and so on! Supported platforms: Windows only, linux and mac experimental (see https://github.com/filoe/cscore/tree/netstandard).
For more details, take a look at the source or the online documentation.
Feel free to download or clone the source code:
https://github.com/filoe/cscore.git
You may prefer to install the CSCore nuget package:
Install-Package CSCore
For FFmpeg support, install the CSCore.Ffmpeg nuget package
Install-Package CSCore.Ffmpeg -Pre
