Quadriplegic Notetaking Program:
I was looking for a software solution like a Dictaphone or telephone answering machine that I could talk into the computer during the day and make little separate notes. At the end of the day I would like to take the MP3 file to log the activities that I did during that day or to make notes.
I am using a free software program, Audacity, that does recording and can make MP3 audio files and that could use the program that we used together called Auto-hotkey. I have attached a script from the program which under key "f4" starts the program and under key "f8" triggers the programs make active if it is not already started. I trigger a key on my keyboard for recording "R" and one to stop recording "S" or to PAUSE and continue "P" and then I take the file and make MP3 file for a record for that day of my activities. I'm sure there are far better scomputer persons using this forum in any improvements would be welcome. The simpler the program the better. thought id share these ideas
The recording software "Audacity":
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
the program for adapting the keyboard shortcuts is "Auothotkey"
If you have the chance please take a look at this wonderful free program for adapting computers for people with disabilities
<http://www.autohotkey.com/>
I also use this program to create a mouse with a old computer joystick. It is wonderful. I hope someone you know can use it too. I wish a really good programmer would make a nice program.
The Autohotkey script that I use is as follows:
f4:: Run %A_ProgramFiles%\audacity 1.3 beta\audacity.exe
F8::
IfWinExist Audacity
{
WinActivate
}
Return
