Audacity Product Family

Audacity Voice Recorders  

The AUDACITY Voice Recorder is a software product that works on many PDA's that include voice-supported hardware. Many professionals already use handheld computers in their daily work. Adding an intelligent dictation application to existing hardware increases effectiveness and efficiency.

The Audacity Voice Recorder Professional has a dual filing structure so personal memos can be separated from professional dictating. Audio quality is very high even though the compressed files are quite small. Files may be recorded in standard WAV format, or with several compression choices (depending on PDA model used).

The Audacity Voice Recorder Professional is full featured. In addition to the standard rewind, append and pause features, it has advanced features like HIPAA compliant encryption, bookmarking, and custom fields to convey information to a transcriptionist when used with the Audacity companion products. File naming and disposition are programmable. Each WAV file has an associated information file (AWI - Audacity Wav Information) that contains pertinent information like author name, comments, etc. The Audacity Voice Recorder Professional is a fully featured recorder residing in a handheld-computer package.

The Audacity Professional also automatically captures Caller ID information including phone number, name, and company. This information is available for post processing.

Audacity Audio also offers a Voice Recorder Personal version with a reduced feature set. It provides basic recording functions but does not include custom fields, encryption, or automated file management via an AWI file. (more information)
