Clap sound detection in C#

Question

I would like to be able to detect a clapping sound. Being pretty new to any form of sound recognition, is there simple any way to do this? If not, any good resources for C#

Answer 1

I wouldnt focus on the language as such, but on the algorithm.

What characteristics of a sound allow you to identify it as a clap? Duration? Intensity? Variation of intensity over time?

Once you've got an algorithm, then decide the best way to implement it.
