I have a Sony Vaio Superslim and often conduct interviews. I would like to record the voices while I take notes. There is an inexpensive alternative in RecAll.
RecAll is a sound-activated .wav recorder.
It begins to record automatically when it hears audio. This makes it an ideal program for recording interviews or dictating notes. It will time-stamp files and use compression to keep your files manageable, and it has an audio level meter. All you need is a microphone, sound card, and Windows.
