Microsoft Sound Recorder
For general recording and playback, the Microsoft Sound Recorder is part of
the Window XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 operating system. This sound
recorder lets you record, mix, play, and edit sounds, and link or insert sounds
into other documents. For information about setting up the Sound Recorder,
see “Setting Up the Sound Recorder” in this chapter.
NOTE: Many third-party audio applications are available for recording and
playback, including Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, which is included with the
optional Motion Pak software image.
AUDIO SYSTEM
CONTROLS
The Motion Dashboard contains volume and directional controls for both
speech recognition and recording.
Volume Controls
• Speaker volume. While the noise
supression software removes most
background noise, in some cases
speaker playback (such as background
music or intermittent audio messages)
can affect recording. In general, reduc-
ing speaker volume will eliminate
these extraneous noises.
• Microphone volume. The default vol-
ume setting for the microphones is at
roughly two-thirds of the sliding scale.
When recording, dictating, or using
voice commands, you may need to
adjust this setting.
Directional Controls
• Angle of acceptance. Three pre-defined “angles of acceptance” are part
of the Motion Speak Anywhere audio technology:
• Narrow Angle — Best setting for dictation, Voice over IP, “voice
noisy” environments; the microphones detect sound on a narrow angle
near the center of the display. If you do not speak within the angle of
acceptance, e.g., if you turn your head while dictating or change the
angle of the Tablet PC, the sound will not be recorded.
• Medium Angle (default) — Best setting for a small group, conference
table, “voice quiet” environment; microphones detect at a wider angle
• Wide Angle — Widest angle of acceptance. Try starting with this
setting (even for dictation) before a more restricted angle, which will
