What's a good API for recording/capturing and playing back sound in Delphi and/or C#?

Question

<flavor> I want to create a spelling test program for my grade schoolers that would let them enter and record their spelling words then test them on them through out the week.</flavor>

What's a good Delphi API with which I could select a recording device, capture and save sound files, then play them back?

I'm also toying with doing the same project in C#, so C# Sound capture/playback API recommendations would also be appreciated.

Answer 1

An alternative to recording would be to use the MS Speech API with C#, enter the words via keyboard, and have it state what was keyed in.

Just a thought... Good luck on your app -- it sounds like a really cool program!
