File Terminals

  • Article

In TAPI 3.1, the terminal object is expanded to include a file terminal. File terminals provide a simple means to perform common operations, for example, recording an audio stream or streams to a file or subsequent playback of recorded audio to a stream.

Five basic objects are used to manipulate file terminals:

  • File Playback Terminal
  • File Recording Terminal
  • File Playback Track
  • File Recording Track
  • File Event

The File Terminal objects can be thought of as an abstraction for the storage, which is usually a file. Tracks correspond to the individual audio data streams in that storage, such as when voice is recorded.
