Recording formats

Your HP Jornada supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting a recording format, you should consider the quality you need as well as how much storage memory the recording will use on your HP Jornada.

In addition, not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your desktop PC, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software used to play recordings on the other computer. The default recording format, HP Dynamic Voice, is supported only on HP Jornada Pocket PCs.

To select a recording format

1.On the Start menu, tap Settings, and then tap the Input icon.

2.On the Options tab in the Input control panel, select a recording format from the drop-down list.

The table below lists the compatibility of various recording formats with other computers. The list of recording formats on your HP Jornada indicates the sample rate, whether the format is stereo or mono, and how much storage memory is required per second of recording. You may need to experiment with different sample rates and formats to determine which format best suits your voice.
