In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a voice note. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording on the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a standalone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open the note first.

You can share voice notes with other Windows-powered devices by sending them over infrared or as an attachment to an e-mail message.

The recording feature is intended for recording personal voice notes. It is not suitable for recording presentations, music, or lectures. Some static or electrical noise may be heard during playback.
