Application:

[[Voicenote]] : application to record voice notes from the microphone into wav files
= Voicenote =
+
[[Image:Voicenote.png]]
+
== Presentation ==
+
'''Voicenote''' is a software which allows to record any sound from the microphone into a wav file. It is intended to be an easy and quick way to do so.
+
 
+
It is based on the '''arecord''' / aplay librairy and use the alsactl to change the audio scenario ( /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/voip-handset.state restore is used)
+
 
+
== Installation ==
+
=== OM / SHR ===
+
 
+
You need zenity to make it work. So to install it, you can do :
+
opkg install http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/zenity_2.20.1-r0_armv4t.ipk
+
opkg install http://kimaidou.kilu.de/openmoko/voicenote/voicenote_0.1_arm.ipk
+
 
+
For SHR user, you might use the -force-depends option to avoid the error with gtk+fastscaling
+
 
+
=== Debian base distributions ===
+
I have not made a package yet. So if you want to try it, you have to use the script alone :
+
apt-get install zenity
+
cd ~
+
wget http://kimaidou.kilu.de/openmoko/voicenote/voicenote.sh
+
chmod +x voicenote.sh
+
To launch it, do
+
cd ~
+
./voicenote.sh
+
 
+
== Using voicenote ==
+
* Click on the desktop icon [[Image:Voicenote.png|30px]] called "Voicenote" to load the software
+
* '''1st window'''
+
Click Validate to start recording.
+
Then wait for the next window to start speaking
+
You validate then wait for the 2nd window to show up before talking to your phone
+
* '''2nd window:'''
+
Click Validate to STOP recording
+
Just click when you have recorded what you want
+
* '''3rd window:'''
+
Your voice-note has been recorded under the filename
+
It just confirms that the voice note has been recorded, and display the name of the file.
+
 
+
For now, '''the wav files are saved in the ~/ folder''', with a "voicenote_" prefix and the date and time (YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MI)
+
 
+
For example: '''voicenote_2009-02-20_12-34.wav''' means a this voice note has been recorded at 12:34 the 20th of feb 2009.
+
 
+
== Changelog ==
+
=== 2009-02-19 - v0.1  ===
+
initial version
+
 
+
 
+
== Futur improvement / To do list ==
+
* package it for debian
+
* allow the user to choose the microphone source (headset or handset)
+
* config file to choose the target folder and the filename (+ other things)
+
* find a solution to double the sound to the left side (it is now in mono, but only on the right)
+
* propose an after (or real-time) ogg compression to save space. (any idea ?)
+
* a front-end listing all the recorded voice notes, with a button to play one of them
+
* more language
+
* replace zenity by a real frontend ?
