Voice Memo Player (Palm only)

DayNotez Desktop user interface > The main screen > DateNav Panel > Voice Memo Player (Palm only)

If you use a device which DayNotez supports making voice memos, then this will be of interest. When you select an entry that has a voice memo associated with it, the panel at the lower portion of the DateNav will display the saved sound file.

If you do not see this panel you can make it visible by selecting menu item "View->Voice Memo Control". You can also hide the display of this panel by choosing that menu item again. There is little point in displaying it if you do not have any voice memos recorded from your handheld. You can also close/hide the panel by clicking on the small [x] in its upper right hand corner. The panel can be resized (up and down) by dragging on the sizer bar at the very top edge of the panel.

To play an available voice memo, first select it by clicking on it in the window. In this case, the voice memo is named "27-1615-sd128.wav". Once highlighted, click the green "play" button to hear it. Click the yellow "pause" button to pause, and the red "stop" button to stop playing it.

The voice memo panel can show multiple .wav files for a single entry. This is certainly possible, since you could have multiple recordings stored on different storage cards. It is also possible that not all of the voice memos belong to the particular entry you have selected. Voice memos are identified by a timestamp. If you choose to save all of your entries to the same time, then a single voice memo might be identified with multiple entries.

About the naming convention: in the example above, the voice memo belongs to an entry that was assigned the 27th of the month at 4:15pm and was saved on a storage card named "sd128".

Voice playback is done in the background. This allows you to play a voice memo while possibly transcribing it into the text of an entry.

Double clicking on the file name passes the file to the Windows operating system for playback. Be warned that due to some of the recording characteristics of some handheld device (speed/bit rate, etc.) Windows players some times have difficulty in playing certain files.

Note: Editing, deletion, and creation of voice memos is not a capability of DayNotez Desktop at this time.

Note: Pocket PC users: voice annotations from the Pocket PC show up embedded within the text of the entry. Simply double click to listen to them.
