With the support of color fax, Diva Server Software Suite version 7.5 offers a feature enhancement for all CAPI based fax applications. For voice recording and conferencing applications Diva Server Software Suite version 7.5 offers new features to suppress DTMF tones, to automatically adjust the recording volume and to set the sampling rate to arbitrary values.

Diva Server Software Suite version 7.5 is available for the most recent Microsoft Windows and Linux based operating systems.

Using Diva Server SDK version 3.4 in combination with Diva Server SoftIP, any communications application once developed for Diva Server can immediately be used in IP-Telephony environments, talking to IP Phones, PSTN/IP Gateways and IP PBX systems.

Diva Server SDK version 3.4 offers a set of new features including additional means to control audio streams for efficient integration with third-party speech recognition engines, as well as, additional audio formats including G.726, GSM and ADPCM (6 kHz and 8 kHz sampling) based voice coding.

Furthermore, Diva Server SDK version 3.4 offers a complete suite of functions for developing monitoring applications. Both, recording of control and audio channels over an ISDN BRI and PRI interface are available using any standard Diva Server adapter in high-impedance mode.
