Overview

Voice Note It is a new way of keeping yourself organized. Just like those expensive note taking digital recorder, Voice Note It stores V Notes or Voice Notes on your computer. So you now can quit wondering exactly why your new computer comes with a microphone!

If you have a microphone and speakers; use V Notes to simply say those reminders instead of having to type them in. Store V Notes  for as long as you like. You can keep as many V Notes as you have disk space. So when your are downloading a bunch of files, instead of trying to remember what they are, just say them. If you have a to do list, you can say them instead of typing them in.

Use the Voice Note It just as you would use a digital recorder. Record and talk. Review your notes, erase or keep the V Notes any time.

We recommend you comment your V Notes, at any time after you record the V Note, enter comments about the V Note. This will help you remember what the note was for.

Some reminders, V Notes are 'WAV' files. These are standard Windows sound recorder files. 'WAV' files take up disk space, so try to erase any V Note that has served it's purpose.

Play V Notes

To play a V Note, pick the V Note you wish to review.

Click on 'Play V Note'. Notice how the button changes to 'Stop Playing'.

To stop playing the V Note, just pick the button again. Voice Note It remembers the position, so pressing 'Play V Note' will start just where you left off.

To play another V Note, just pick the note and press play.

Erase

Erasing the V Note is highly recommended. When you have reviewed your V Note, erase it. When you erase the V Note, the space the V Note takes from your computer disk is returned.

V Notes can take up quite a bit of space. So do not keep them around if you are not going to review them. But, be sure to utilize the saved V Notes. Computers today come with pretty good sized hard disks. A saved V Note can be the difference between remembering and getting into big trouble.

Record a V Note

When you need to record a V Note, just click the 'Record Button'.

You must decide if you want a New V Note or  you want to Record from the Current Position.

Record from Current Position.

If you select this option, be sure you are at the position you want to start. Once you use this option. All contents of the V Note from the Current Position on are erased. You can not insert into a V Note.

So if you want to keep the contents of the V Note  from the Current Postion to the end of the V Note, do not record from the current position. Go to the End of the V Note and then record from the current position.

Notice that when you start recording, the 'Record Button' changes to 'Stop Recording'. Be sure to press the Record Button when you are finished.

File Formats and Limitations

Voice Note It uses Windows 'WAV' files. These files are a standard Windows sound files. Each time your computer beeps, bonks or zooms, it is playing a 'WAV' file.

You can use the Explorer or File Manager to see these files the Voice Note It creates. But more importantly, you can use any number of media players to play these files.

You can hold as many V Notes as you have disk space. The only limitation on V Notes is that you can not create and keep more than 35 per day. This is a limitation on creating random number files. If you run into this limitation, let us know.

But just delete some of today's V Notes before creating your 36th of the day.

For The Interested

Voice Note It 95 uses a very basic data file that holds the date, time, comment and file name for each V Note.  This data file requires no run time file management utilities.

Voice Note It is written using Delphi 2; a 32 bit compiler. We are especially pleased with Delphi. It produces fast, standalone executable files. You do not require any run time interpreters or any other supporting files.  If you have any questions on Delphi, drop us a line. We are happy to give this product any good words we can.

Voice Note It installation uses InstallShield. This is the best installer we have seen so far and is becoming the industry standard. InstallShield provides full unInstall functionality.  A great product!

Voice Note it creates two files when you first run Voice Note It.

VNotes.Dat:	Data Files

VNotes.INI	Setup Information including registration information.

When you create a V Note, Voice Note It creates a 'WAV' file. These files are named using the julian date for the day plus a unique identifier for each V Note.

If for some reason, the 'Wav' files are deleted or lost, obviously Voice Note It can not play those files. Just Erase the V Note from Voice Note It and all will be well.

Finally, if you want to delete all V Notes, a quick means is to delete the VNotes.Dat file and all 'Wav' files. Be sure not to delete the INI files or the VNote.exe file.

If you are using the Voice Note It Version 1.5 for Windows 3.1, we have changed the data files. When you upgrade, all your previous V Notes will NOT show in the VNotes list. Sorry, but that's is the way it is. We decided to simplify the file structures for speed and size issues. We feel that the improvement in speed is well worth it.

Setup Options

Auto Rewind

When the V Note has finished play, the V Note goes back to the Start position. This option is useful when you are replaying a V Note. If you often record onto the end of a V Note, this option may cause more trouble than it's worth.

Limit V Notes to 2 Minutes

We really recommend this one. A 2 minute V Note is over 1 meg. If you forget to stop recording and you let the V Note record for over 20 minutes, you are now using 20 or more megabytes of your disk space. This could be a big problem if you forget and go to lunch! Especially those golf lunches!

Show Icon in Task Tray

We like this one. Windows95 has a task tray that holds utility program icons. This makes these programs easy to get to at any time. When minimizing the Voice Note It, the icon goes into the task tray and DOES NOT becine an icon on the start bar. We recommend this setting. For example, you can put a shortcut into the startup group for Voice Note It. This would make the Voice Note It a part of the Windows 95 system; it will sit right there in the task tray ready for use at any time. Really cool.

Register Screen

When you get your registration information, enter exactly as provided. The registration screen allows only certain entries for the registration id. These entries are based on your registration name. Enter the information exactly as provided and press OK.

We hope you do register this software. We have priced it very fairly and we believe that the Voice Note It software adds a great functionality to Windows 95.
