In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also
quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a voice
note. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording on the
tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a standalone recording
Notes
or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in
a note, open the note first.
You can share voice notes with other Windows-powered devices by sending
them over infrared or as an attachment to an e-mail message.
The recording feature is intended for recording personal voice notes. It is not
suitable for recording presentations, music, or lectures. Some static or
electrical noise may be heard during playback.

Your HP Jornada supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in
both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting
a recording format, you should consider the quality you need as well as how
much storage memory the recording will use on your HP Jornada.
In addition, not all recording formats are compatible with other software or
computers. If you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording
to your desktop PC, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by
the software used to play recordings on the other computer. The default
recording format is HP Dynamic Voice. For instructions on installing HP
Dynamic Voice codec on your desktop PC, see “Installing the HP Dynamic
Voice audio codec” in chapter 3.
