I am addicted to web surfing, and its often that I need to take some notes. So, till now I generally used Google Notebook or Vista Sidebar gadget for taking my online notes. But now I’ve came to know another in built feature of Windows Vista, which is known as Sticky Notes. This application allows taking notes using a Tablet PC or Digital Pen. This application is also having a feature of voice recording. From this application, I got an idea of taking voice notes.You can also check out another previously mentioned in built feature of Windows Vista Performance and Reliability.
So, now to make my life more productive I started using Windows Recorder to take important notes, Online or Offline. Now, when I switch on my Dell Studio 15 laptop, Sound Recorder is set to auto start, when windows boots up. It is having an Integrated Webcam and Microphone Array, which makes it easier to take voice notes. You can open sound recorder by clicking on start menu and typing Sound Recorder. You can save your voice notes in either wma or wav format. I prefer you to save in wma format as, this will require less space for same duration of recording.
