This file is README.1ST. It contains information about
RecAll and how to install it. Please read this file
first!
RecAll is not free.
If you obtained this program on a try-before-buy basis,
be aware that if you continue to use this program, you
MUST register within thirty days of use.
RecAll is a sound-activated recorder for Windows,
which uses the microphone input capabilities of your
sound card to detect sound and then record direct
to disk. Possible applications include taking notes
or dictation, monitoring of radio scanners
I. Distribution Files
------------------------
You may have received RecAll in one of two forms:
A) You have the program in the form of .ZIP file,
RECALL20.ZIP
from a bulletin board, Internet, CDROM, etc. You
should know how to unzip the file with PKUNZIP.EXE.
B) You have a floppy disk with several files, most in
compressed format.
If you have (A), please make sure the ZIP files are unzipped
in a single directory before installation.
II. Installing RecAll
---------------------------
The RecAll file set includes a program named SETUP.EXE
used for installation.
If your distribution files are on a floppy disk in drive A:
1) Click on the Start button
2) Click on the "Run..." menu item.
3) In the command box type
A:\SETUP
(If your floppy drive is different than A:,
substitute the appropriate name.)
4) Click on OK
(If you unzipped the zipped file into a temporary directory, for
instance, C:\TMP, then do the same but with the command
C:\TMP\SETUP )
The setup program will ask you where you want RecAll installed.
You may install it anywhere, but we suggest using a separate new
directory to keep RecAll files separate from other programs.
III. Getting started
----------------------
Chances are your system is already set up correctly for sound
input if you have a sound card installed. As a useful check,
go into the Windows applet Sound Recorder and record a few
seconds of speaking into the microphone in a normal voice. If
you hear good quality sound on playback without clicking or
other strange noises, you are ready to begin. After installing
RecAll, go ahead and try out the program by clicking on the
Listen button. If the meter registers significant output when
you speak, but is close to zero when you are silent, you're all
set! Otherwise, refer to the procedure
detailed in RecAll's online-help under "Troubleshooting".
