[edit] Voicenote 0.4

Voicenote.png

[edit] Presentation

Voicenote is a script which allows to record any sound from the microphone into a wav file. It can play the created files too. 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) .

It uses zenity as a basic graphical gui.

[edit] Installation

[edit] Dependencies

You need zenity and alsa-utils-aplay to make it work.

[edit] OM

So to install it, you can do :

opkg install http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/zenity_2.20.1-r0_armv4t.ipk alsa-utils-aplay http://www.opkg.org/packages/voicenote_0.4_arm.ipk

[edit] SHR

You have to install some more librairies :

opkg -force-depends install http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/libgnomecanvas-2-0_2.20.0-r0_armv4t.ipk http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/libgailutil18_1.20.0-r0_armv4t.ipk http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/libnotify_0.4.4-r0_armv4t.ipk

Then

opkg install http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/zenity_2.20.1-r0_armv4t.ipk alsa-utils-aplay http://www.opkg.org/packages/voicenote_0.4_arm.ipk

[edit] 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 alsa-utils-aplay
cd ~
wget http://kimaidou.kilu.de/openmoko/voicenote/voicenote
chmod +x voicenote

To launch it, do

cd ~
./voicenote

[edit] Using voicenote

  • Just click on the desktop icon Voicenote.png called "Voicenote" to load the software
  • Then you have to choose between recording or playing a voice note (a wav file). When finished recording or playing, you go back to this first window. Click "Cancel" to quit the application.
  • For now the wav files are saved 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.

[edit] Changelog

[edit] 2009-03-09 - v0.4

  • Added the seconds to each wav file name, eg "voicenote_2009-02-20_12-34-58.wav"
  • Repackaged so that it is not broken in opkg.org repository
  • Changed /usr/share/voicenote.desktop file = removed "Office" category, so that only one icon appears on the desktop

[edit] 2009-02-25 - v0.3

  • Now you can play the wav files from Voicenote
  • You go back to the 1st choice window after recording or playing a file. To quit the software, click on the button "Cancel".

[edit] 2009-02-24 - v0.2

2nd version:

  • GPL license added
  • the user can select the wave files destination folder at the first startup (and then modify it in the file ~/.voicenote/voicenote.cfg
  • the wave file is now recorded in mono at 8000 kHz (which saves a lot of CPU and bytes)
  • addition of comments in the script
  • the script is called "voicenote", and not anymore "voicenote.sh"
