Hello,
I'm developing a database for a cardiolog, and I would like to insert the
wave files which I obtain by auscultation with an digital stethoscope, but I
would also have the possibility to hear and visualize (the sound graphic)
the wave files. Is there any possibility to do this with MS Access 2000? I
know that for example Matlab visualize the sound graphic and has many
procedure to analyze the graphic but is there any possibility also with
Access to implement some of this analylize procedures?
greetings Bernd
 
You can store the wav files in the database or store
the files in a folder and put the catalogue in the database.

You can play the files by using the windows api or
by using Windows Sound Recorder (or any other automation
server that plays sounds).

What did you have in mind?

I would like to have the possibility to store the wav files of the heart
sounds in a database and then have the possibility to visualize their sound
graphic in a window or rather have the possibility to compare two graphics
(of to heart sounds obtained in different times) and to have some procedure
that analyses the graphics and give some information (features of the heart
sound).
Do you think it's possible in some way?
Thanks Bernd
 
It is possible, although I don't know how well it will work.
One way to 'visualise' a wav file is to use a player that
displays a Cartesian graph as it plays. Do you have a particular
player in mind?

A simple way to play wav files from a database is to
have a TABLE with a FIELD with type OLE OBJECT. Create
a NEW FORM. INSERT an OBJECT of type WAV SOUND onto
the form. Bind the form to the table, bind the wav object
on the form to the ole object in the table.
