General Software Discussion / Re: 'Time stamping' sound recorder

Just FYI, a new version of PerfectNotes has been released.

PerfectNotes lets you bookmark your audio file just like the post by markfoley mentioned. You make bookmarks as you go, whenever you hear something you want to come back to. Then whenever you have time, just click your bookmark and hear it again. It makes it so much easier to jump around the audio file. Plus, you have an instant visualization of not only what you wanted to hear again (your bookmarks), but a visualization of when people were talking along with markers showing what you typed. It's all put together on one timeline.

You can also be anywhere in your notes, click a button, and it will instantly load the audio file to the general time when you made those notes. So you can look at your bookmarks to see what you wanted to come back to, or at any time you are confused on your notes, you can click a button and hear what was said.

You don't have to take notes in PerfectNotes either. You can set it to record and then minimize it. You can be using any other application, and when you hear something you want to bookmark, you can then click on PerfectNotes, make a bookmark, and minimize again.

A lot of people have found it to be a great note taking tool. It's pretty amazing being able to just click and hear what was said. Feel free to try the demo, available from www.PerfectNotes.com.

Thanks for trying it out and thanks for the comments. I'm curious to know when it was freezing on you. If you wouldn't mind going into the program, clicking on Help and then Contact Us, it would be great if you could give our development team feedback on the problems you are having so they make sure they get it fixed.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, we've used it. But it's very difficult to use quickly in real time and the audio is not good at all.

The beta was a month but it's at the end of it's cycle. It should be either released or extended this week. There will be at least a month free on the real product though to give people a chance to evaluate before they decide to purchase.

You can use the keyboard shortcuts to create markers quickly on the fly without having to use the mouse at all. If you click on Options and then My Timemark Hot Keys, you can configure the keyboard shortcuts to create markers in the timeline. There are many options including the Pause key, function keys, and others. You can optionally type in a short label in your marker.

What do you mean by clickable checkboxes? I'm not familiar with those. Do you mean a checkbox on the timeline that you could mark off that you have listened to that marker?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll pass them on to product development. The price will be $9.95 per month with automatic upgrades. A microphone and CD will be shipped to each customer when they subscribe. There are many added features that will be coming in the next few months so keep checking. This is a beta version currently, so most features are not completely fully implemented.

I like what you're doing with the reviews of notetaking software, but there's another genre of notetaking software that you have missed that adds an audio recording to the notes. Within this category, there is a product that is just coming onto the market called PerfectNotesTM brand notetaking software. It is unique in that it records everything it hears while you take notes. At any time, you can create markers that you can come back to later. Then you can replay your markers later at your own pace to see what you missed. This way, when you are in a class or a lecture and you wish you could stop the professor, rewind him, and hear it again, you can! It's instant replay for your life. If you're interested, check it out at http://www.perfectnotes.com. If you're interested in doing a review, I can send you a microphone you can use.
