Building an SDK is Painful—But It Doesn't Have to Be for Audio Developers

Audio developers, you don’t have to build your own SDK. Switchboard is your SDK.

Building an SDK is Painful—But It Doesn't Have to Be for Audio Developers

Building a software development kit (SDK) is no easy feat. If you're a developer working on a piece of core technology—whether it's an advanced digital signal processing (DSP) module, a machine learning-based audio model, or any other audio-centric tool—you're already dealing with a lot of technical complexity. The idea of building an entire SDK on top of that to make your technology accessible to other developers can feel overwhelming.

An SDK involves much more than just exposing your technology through an API. It requires comprehensive documentation, cross-platform support, version control, integration with other tools, constant maintenance, and, most importantly, a deep understanding of the programming languages and environments that your users will work in. Do you want to spend valuable time keeping up with the constantly evolving ecosystems of Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript, or C++? Probably not, especially when your core innovation lies in something like machine learning for speech synthesis or voice enhancement.

The Pain of Building and Maintaining SDKs

For most teams, building an SDK isn't just a one-time effort. It's an ongoing process that demands attention long after your initial release. As operating systems evolve, languages change, and developer expectations grow, your SDK needs to keep pace. You might find yourself spending more time fixing compatibility issues, writing documentation, and handling support queries than focusing on the innovation that got you started in the first place.

That’s where the real pain comes in. You end up spending precious resources on building an SDK from scratch, even though your core value is in your technology, not in the infrastructure around it.

Enter Switchboard: The SDK for Audio SDK Developers

What if you didn’t have to build an SDK at all? What if there was a way for you to focus on your core technology—whether it's a custom DSP algorithm, noise suppression filter, or a cutting-edge voice changer—without getting bogged down in the SDK development process?

That’s where Switchboard comes in.

Switchboard allows you to turn your core technology into a fully featured SDK without ever building one from scratch. The framework is designed to take care of all the heavy lifting, letting you build a simple wrapper around your DSP module or audio model. From there, Switchboard provides everything else you need to make your technology accessible from high-level languages like Swift, Kotlin, and JavaScript. You can offer your tech as a plug-and-play solution to developers across multiple platforms, without needing to maintain compatibility with every OS update or language quirk.

Why Focus on Your Core Tech?

Switchboard lets you streamline your development process. Here’s why it’s a game-changer for teams working on audio technology:

Skip the SDK Pain: You no longer need to worry about developing and maintaining your own SDK. Switchboard has the infrastructure in place, so you can focus on refining your core technology.

Cross-Platform Ready: Switchboard is designed to make your technology accessible in Swift (for iOS), Kotlin (for Android), and JavaScript (for web). That means instant multi-platform support for your DSP module or machine learning model.

Save Time and Resources: Imagine how much more you could accomplish by dedicating resources to improving your noise suppression algorithm, voice-changer library, or text-to-speech model, rather than wrangling SDK code.

Built for Audio: Switchboard is specifically designed for audio developers. Whether you're building real-time voice processing, machine learning-powered speech recognition, or even interactive audio tools, Switchboard provides the framework you need.

A Better Solution for Audio SDK Developers

For teams developing things like text-to-speech engines, voice changers, noise suppression libraries, and anything else in the audio world, Switchboard can be a game-changer. You can spend less time wrestling with SDKs and more time building world-class audio technology.

In the rapidly growing field of audio innovation, especially as voice interfaces and AI-driven sound tools become more critical, you want your focus to be where it matters: on making your core product the best it can be.

Switchboard lets you do exactly that. Let the SDK pain become a thing of the past, and let your technology shine in the hands of developers without the headache of maintaining a complex SDK ecosystem.

Focus on your core tech —Switchboard has the Rest Covered.
