Title: Voice Record On C1000?
Post by: steliosx on October 21, 2005, 06:32:25 am

hello everyone,

bought a really nice miniaturized microphone for my C1000, to use in Voice recording meetings, but forgot a tiny detail: software! isn't there something out there to just record what the mic is getting? something maybe using speex as codec or the other low bitrate codecs?

I think there was tkcVoc for older models.. any clue if it will work under C1000?
what are you people using to record meetings or lectures?

thanks a lot

I See.. will contact them to see if its ok for the C1000!

I got myself the mic from microphonics at ebay ( http://stores.ebay.com/Microphonics_W0QQss...aderLinksQQtZkm (http://stores.ebay.com/Microphonics_W0QQssPageNameZVIStoreHeaderLinksQQtZkm)? ), and I think that it will do a good job in recording meetings!

thanks for the response

Have you checked your CD-ROM? Both my C3000 and C3100 had qpe-voicerec on the CD-ROM so I guess the C1000 should have it too

Well since you explicitely mention speex, you may want to have a look at [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14428]this thread[/url]. It's not much, but it works fairly well.

Best regards,
Chris.

Not to thread-jack, but does anyone know where I might be able to pick up a headset and microphone for the Z ?  I'm gonna give Kphone a try and it's actually kind of tough to find a 3.5mm plug with 1/2 headphone(s) and a microphone (or did my C-1000 actually come WITH one).

 Course, I could by a dime-o-dozen PC headphone microphone combo and a miniplug stereo splitter (the kand that splits the channels) and just sort of kludge one together, but I thought I try going legit first.

 Thanks!

Can someone post a link for the qpe-voicerec IPK ? I have purchased a second-hand Z without the CD, thinking I could find everything on the web.

I have a SL-3000.

Thanks!

I'm a little out of it here...what hardware connection would you use for a mic? Would it plug into the headphone jack or into the mini-usb? Anyone have a spec for a microphone that is confirmed to work with the c1000?

I've got Cacko 1.23 installed and it seems there is a voice-record app installed...anyone have any experience with it?

Thanks...

You can use headphones and speak in the left speaker to record sound.

Otherwise, I'm pretty sure there's some headsets that could be used, but needs to be tested.

There's also some small mic that you can plug in there.

The voice-record app in Cacko1.23 works fine, I took the earbuds that sharp supplied with my 3100 and removed the left earbud and replaced it with a mic from a computer mic that had a cut cord (I think I ran over it with my chair).  and it's perfect for Kphone, which I have working with Vonage.  

The name brand for the mic won't matter as long as it is one of those 3.5" ones that plug into your computer and headphones are headphones.
