This page is a draft description / to-do list for my 1st application "voicenote"

Voicenote

Presentation

Voicenote is a software which allow to record any sound from the microphone into a wav file. It is intended to easily allow the user to record a voice note (or anything else), quicly.

It is based on the arecord / aplay librairy and use the alsactl to change the audio scenario ( /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/voip-handset.state restore is used)

Installation

OM / SHR

I made a package : Download You need zenity to make it work. So to install it, you can do :

opkg install http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/zenity_2.20.1-r0_armv4t.ipk http://kimaidou.kilu.de/openmoko/voicenote/voicenote_0.1_arm.ipk

For SHR user, you might use the -force-depends option to avoid the error with gtk+fastscaling

Debian base distributions

I have not made a package yet. So if you want to try it, you have to use the script alone :

cd ~
wget http://kimaidou.kilu.de/openmoko/voicenote/voicenote.sh
chmod +x voicenote.sh

To launch it, do

cd ~
./voicenote.sh

Using voicenote =

• Click on the desktop icon "Voicenote" to load the software
• A windows asks if you are ready to

Futur improvement / To do list

• package it for debian
• allow the user to choose the microphone source (headset or handset)
• config file to choose the target folder and the filename (+ other things)
• find a solution to double the sound to the left side (it is now in mono, but only on the right)
• propose an after (or real-time) ogg compression to save space. (any idea ?)
• a front-end listing all the recorded voice notes, with a button to play one of them
• more language
• replace zenity by a real frontend ?
