[WriteLog] Voice memories

John,

I highly recommend making your own recordings in your own voice.  Even if 
you could find some files on the web it won't sound right when you have to 
fill in some information elements with your own voice instead of the 
recorded voice.

I too recommend the Audacity program for creating your wave files.  It has a 
lot of capabilities, but most of them aren't needed to simply record your 
messages.  You can edit the ones you create to remove leading and trailing 
dead spaces which helps a lot on playback when WriteLog parses the 
individual files together into a string.

Just be sure to use the same audio settings for all your recordings or some 
of them won't work if they have a different setting.  In Audacity click on 
Edit/Preferences and then select the Quality choice from the list on the 
left side of the screen.  I set the Default Sample Rate to 22050 Hz and the 
Default Sample Format to 16-bit.  You can leave the other settings at their 
defaults.

I've found that I can record several wave files one after the other in a 
single recording and then use the editing capability of Audacity to 
highlight and select one wave file and then do a File/Export Selection as a 
wav file.  Then select another segment of the recording and do a File/Export 
Selection and save that as another file name.  By during this you can 
quickly record the basic files you need to parse out a call sign.  Once you 
get the hang of that you can proceed to recording various contest exchange 
messages.  Save the contest exchange messages in separate folders named for 
the contest.  That way you can call them up for that contest whenever needed 
without having to make another batch of exchange recordings.

73,

Hi

I use http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audiacity to record each letter.
Then export to a.wav, b.wav etc.
