Audio conference software together with the right conferencing equipment helps your employees stay in touch with each other or possibly you while working online.

Since there are many audio conferencing software solutions, we have narrowed the field to few select ones.

iPROConference Meeting is a communications tool with unlimited, secured seating, where you can share documents, conduct presentations and work together with people using built-in audio, text chat, webcam, browser, whiteboard and more. This software is available for a free trial period.

Centra is another audio conference software with additional services. The software has all the usual defining features plus the ability to be scheduled for specific dates and times.

It also will track who ever shows up for the meetings. Once the meetings are over, Centra will send notes on the meeting to each participant through email.

Another audio conference software to consider is NetMeeting. With Microsoft's NetMeeting, you can use any web device, plus incorporate your calendar and email program. You can also use your webcam to take pictures and place them on the whiteboard for discussion.

iLinc is another business program that you may want to use to keep your investors up to date with interactive news conferences, presentations, research sessions, focus groups. It can also be used for communicating with internal audiences to deliver important messages.

When it comes to pricing, obviously, different providers will charge differently. However, with Microsoft's NetMeeting it comes with the Windows XP version, so the price for it is included with the operating system.

Each audio conferencing software has its obvious benefits, such as interactive and live conferencing between multiple locations online at one time. You can get audio conferencing services from the providers listed above, and with each offering, free trials while using many features your computer already has installed in it.
