5.1 Recording Messages in Notes
In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts,
reminders and phone numbers by recording a message. The recordings will be saved as .wav files in the
\My Documents folder on the Pocket PC Phone.
You can record a message when the Record button appears on the command bar. In Pocket Word, use the
recording function by the View menu.
Creating a Recording
1. Hold your Pocket PC Phone’s microphone near your mouth or
other source of sound.
2. Hold down the Record key. When you hear the beep, begin your
recording.
3. Keep holding down the Record key during the recording.
4. Release the key when you are finished. You will hear two beeps.
5. The new recording is stored as a stand-alone recording if no note
is open. Tap the recording file to play back.
• The recording indicator glows in red when a recording is in process.
• You can use the Record/Playback toolbar for recording and playback.
• Tap
→ Settings → Personal → Input → Options to select the recording format.
Recording Formats
Your Pocket PC Phone supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in both the quality of the
recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting a recording format, you should consider the quality
you need as well as how much storage memory the recording will use on your Pocket PC Phone.
Not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If you will share your record-
ings with others or transfer a recording to your desktop computer, be sure to choose a recording format that
is supported by the software used to play recordings on the other computer.
The PCM format offers the highest quality recording and is compatible with all Pocket PC Phone models,
other Windows-powered mobile devices and desktop computers that use Windows operating systems. The
GSM 6.10 format is compatible with all Pocket PC Phone models and other Windows-powered mobile
devices, but may not work with desktop computers.
To select a recording format, tap
→ Settings → Personal →
Input → Options to select a recording format. The list of recording
formats on your Pocket PC Phone indicates the sample rate, whether
the format is stereo or mono and how much storage memory is
required per second of recording. You may need to experiment with
different sample rates and formats to determine which format best
suits your needs.
