QUALCOMM PureVoice™ VERSION 1.1 FOR MACINTOSH
===============================================
This is Version 1.1 of the QUALCOMM PureVoice™ Player-Recorder and the
QUALCOMM PureVoice™ Plug-In for Eudora®, Macintosh platform. This README
provides information on the following topics:
* PureVoice Description
* Minimum Requirements
* Installation
* Getting Help
* Bug Reports
* Requests for Features
* License and Legal Information
========================
PureVoice DESCRIPTION
========================
QUALCOMM's PureVoice™ Player-Recorder and QUALCOMM's PureVoice™ Plug-In for
Eudora® let you record voice messages on your computer and send them as
e-mail attachments with your e-mail. The PureVoice Player-Recorder
(standalone application) works with most e-mail systems on the Macintosh.
If you are using Eudora Pro or Eudora Light version 3.1 or later for
Macintosh as your e-mail software, the PureVoice Plug-In for Eudora lets
you record and send PureVoice voice messages from within Eudora. In this
case too, attachment of the voice message to a Eudora e-mail message is
automatic, at the touch of a button in PureVoice.
PureVoice features an easy-to-use onscreen player-recorder with a standard
VCR-like button panel and digital readouts that let you customize your
voice message. You can edit your voice messages by inserting additional
recorded material into them, or by recording over existing material. You
can play back your messages, adjusting speaker volume and varying speed
without distortion of voice or pitch. You can adjust microphone
volume/sensitivity when recording. You can save your voice messages to
files for later use. Or, you can attach your voice messages to e-mail
messages as soon as you're finished recording them.
PureVoice voice messages are recorded at very high sound quality -- nearly
equal to that of a telephone call made on a good-to-high-quality home
phone. And the quality is equal to that of the world's best digital
wireless telephones.
When you send a PureVoice voice message as an attachment to your e-mail,
your recipients can play back your voice message on their Power Macintosh
or 32-bit Windows 95/NT computer, if they have PureVoice installed on their
machine. QUALCOMM distributes PureVoice for free: have your recipients
download the PureVoice Player-Recorder or the PureVoice Plug-In for Eudora
from our Web site at <http://www.eudora.com>, or our ftp site at
<ftp.eudora.com>.
======================
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
======================
To use QUALCOMM's PureVoice for Macintosh, in either Player-Recorder or
Plug-In form, you must have the following:
* A Power Macintosh.
* Macintosh System 7.5 or later.
* Sound Manager 3.2 or later.
* A microphone, external or built-in (Note: Not required for playback)
* The Plug-In version of PureVoice requires either Eudora Pro version 3.1
or later for Macintosh or Eudora Light version 3.1 or later for Macintosh.
==============
INSTALLATION
==============
Installation is simple. Once you have downloaded the PureVoice installer
from our Web site, just double-click on the PureVoice installation icon on
your desktop, and follow the instructions in the installation screens.
When you have finished installation, either the PureVoice Player-Recorder
(standalone application) will be installed in the folder of your choice, or
the PureVoice Plug-In for Eudora will be installed in the Eudora Stuff or
Plugins folder under the folder containing your Eudora Pro or Eudora Light
version 3.1 (or later) for Macintosh application.
If you have installed the Plug-In version of PureVoice, you must quit and
then restart Eudora in order to gain access to PureVoice through the Eudora
menus.
To launch the PureVoice Player-Recorder (standalone application), simply
double-click on the PureVoice application icon on your desktop.
To launch the PureVoice Plug-In, start Eudora, open a new message window,
and then select PureVoice... from the Attach submenu under the Message menu.
PureVoice has several settings that let you customize the application to
your needs. To access these settings, make PureVoice active and select
Preferences... from the Edit menu (the PureVoice dialog must be closed).
The settings dialog lets you specify whether or not to begin playing voice
messages as soon as they're opened, to begin recording as soon as you start
a new message, and to automatically save your recorded voice messages to
files; it also lets you specify the input source, whether a microphone, an
internal CD, or an audiovisual connector.
For more information, see the PureVoice Help, discussed in the next section
below.
Note: Each time you install an updated version of the PureVoice Plug-In for
Eudora, you must quit and restart Eudora in order to make the updated
Plug-In (and any new settings options) available from within Eudora.
==============
GETTING HELP
==============
Help is plentiful in PureVoice! First, there's Balloon Help. This can be
accessed from the Balloon Help menu (Apple Guide menu) when PureVoice is
launched and active. Select Show Balloons and then point to the object in
the PureVoice dialog for which you want help. You can also point to menu
titles and menu options. Turn off Balloon Help by selecting Hide Balloons
from the Balloon Help menu. You can also turn Balloon Help on and off by
pressing the help key on your Macintosh keyboard, if it has such a key.
PureVoice also has an extensive online help system with clickable hotlinks
that take you to your desired topic. With PureVoice launched and active,
select PureVoice Help from the Balloon Help menu (Apple Guide menu). An
online help dialog appears, showing the contents of the help system. Simply
click on your desired topic, or click on the buttons at the bottom of the
dialog to navigate through the help system. The online help includes
step-by-step procedures for the main tasks in PureVoice, such as recording
messages, playing them back, editing them, saving them, and attaching them
to your e-mail messages.
=============
BUG REPORTS
=============
If you experience something you think might be a bug in PureVoice, please

been received and forwarded to our engineering staff. Unless additional
information is needed, you will not receive a direct response.
=======================
REQUESTS FOR FEATURES

>From time to time, everyone comes up with an idea for something they'd like
their software to do differently. If you come across an idea that you think
might make a nice enhancement to PureVoice, your input is always welcome.
Please send any suggestions or requests for new features to
