Chapter 6 Staying Organized 75

Voice Recorder uses approximately 300 bytes per second for recording, using the Mobile Voice format. For example, a 10- second note uses approximately 3K.

Choosing a recording format

Voice Recorder uses a codec called Mobile Voice to compress files, making them 25 times smaller than the original size. This enables you to store more recordings, although the sound quality is less than optimal. For the best sound quality, use the PCM format. These files are larger than those stored in Mobile Voice format. To switch formats, tap Tools and then Recording Format.

Your recordings are saved as .wav files, which you can transfer to your desktop computer for playback, editing, and archiving. You need desktop software that can play .wav files, and you need the same codec used to make the recording. You can get the Mobile Voice codec by installing Windows CE Services (see “Understanding Windows CE Services” on page 39) or go to the following Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/info/.

If you want to email your recording from your P/PC, use the PCM file format.

Organizing recordings

Your recordings are saved automatically and given the names Recording1, Recording2, and so on, by default. These recordings are listed in the Voice Recorder window.

To quickly rename a recording

1.Tap the recording to select it.

2.Tap it again, and then enter the new name.

You can organize your recordings by renaming them and placing them in folders. For example, you can create a folder called My Novel and place all relevant recordings in that folder.

If you display recordings for a particular folder in the Voice Recorder window, any new recordings you make while that folder is selected are placed in that folder. They are given the folder
