Application Development and Customization Services

NCH Software develops a wide range of software covering areas such as professional audio, video, sound and telephony. Our applications are built upon solid design foundations and can be readily customized to suit your needs.

In addition to work we do for corporate and government customers, we also develop many other related programs on our own behalf. These we sell either through resellers or online. See our software product page list for an index of the programs that you can download directly. You should start at that page if you have not done so already, because we might already have the software you are looking for.

We employ an experienced team of programmers who specialize in coding:

  • Speech Signal Processing
  • Automated Sound Recording and Playback Systems
  • Telephony Technology
  • Dictation and Transcription Systems
  • Audio Compression Algorithms
  • Video Compression and Rendering
NCH Software has a strong focus on coding for reliability to create the most robust quality commercial software applications. As part of our quality control systems we have documented processes that follow industry accepted practices of the highest level.

Development Platforms include:

  • Windows
  • Max OS X
  • Pocket PC
  • Palm OS
  • Unix (including Linux)

In order to retain us to modify one of our applications, please complete the form at the bottom.

We guarantee our quotes will be competitive because:

  • We have a good code base and experience to draw on.
  • If we believe the improvement or modification could be used by other customers we will reduce the overall price of the quote (ie. You only pay a contribution towards the development).
