How to set up voice notes

cst516 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2008, 05:59 PM

I was wondering how people are handling using the voice notes with such minimum buttons. All my previous PPC had a button to push and hold, wait for the beep and then record your note. This was something I used often. Since getting the Touch I have not used the function as it only has one button. I programed the press and hold to open notes but that is all it does, just opens the note to write and not to record.

Thanks for any info.

there is a registry edit somewhere to hsow hte record bar.. if not a setting with menu intereface setting. I haven't used it in a while.. it's nice to use occassionally.. but i haven't found myself needing ot make a note lately.

update: so i just went through my menu. i'm using the new sprint rom and it has "voice recorder" built in.
You should update your rom.

I have that same rom and that program. I was wondering how to map it to a button so when I am driving down the road I can just hit the button and make a voice note and then put it back down. I can't seem to figure that out yet.

Thanks

I am desperate on this one... I just got an HTC Touch Diamond (had Audiovox PPC6700) and am dumbfounded by this (no recording button). I use this feature between 15-30 x's per day and in my context am unable to take the long route: (Notes > Menu > View Recording Toolbar > Record).

I have been playing around with “hotvoice.exe” and “poutlook.exe notes” but so far to no avail (http://www.mwilber.com/). I am also looking at Resco's Audio Recorder (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/default.asp)for some shortcut to be linked to a long hold on the "answer" button or some other tweak.

I just do not understand how HTC could leave out a feature that has been around forever and that is seemlessly linked with Outlook PIM. If I can not figure this out real soon, I will be switching phones. Any help would be of inestimable value.

AE Button Plus might help you set it up the way you want. I think there is a free version.

Thank you; I will definitely give it a shot. I noticed there are some conflicts; hopefully I will not run in to any.

I use Vito Audio Notes Touch instead of the stock voice notes, which has nice finger friendly buttons and a clean interface. Plus, it records my voice notes in mp3 format, so I can transfer them to my pc to listen to them if I need to. And I just made a shortcut to the cube for it for quick access.

I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but that's the solution I use with the lack of hardware buttons.
