This voice notes software allows users to record from various sound sources, with scheduled and voice-operated recording. It also offers transcription playback, export options to MP3, WAV, OGG, and EXE formats, and customizable skins and message editor.
Another great thing about this program is that it offers two separate working modes - digital and analog. With the digital mode, you get a cassette file that consists of multiple recorded messages, and each click on the Record button creates a new message. On the other hand, the analog mode gives you one continuous rewritable message per cassette file.
The program also boasts a range of other essential features, such as transcription playback mode, support for unattended scheduled recordings, and the ability to export to WAV, MP3, OGG Vorbis or EXE. There are also sound effects like echo, equalizer, flanger, and pitch.
Additionally, there is a message editor that allows for cut-outs and splitting, the option to send as an email attachment, a pre-amplifier, and changeable skin. The Exact Time Positioner (ETP) bar lets you quickly and precisely position yourself within a message, and you can have endless loop playback. Other handy features include mouse wheel support and a selection of keyboard shortcuts for the most critical controls that you can access even in off-focus mode while working in other programs.
Overall, I found this software to be an excellent option for anyone looking to record their thoughts, meetings, lectures, or anything else without hassle. Its range of features and modes makes it a versatile tool that can suit many recording needs. Plus, its ease of use means even beginners can start recording quickly and efficiently.
