Hai everybody

I would like to record my speech (atleast 30 minutes) in my Computer. I would like to know the hardware & software requirements and the procedure to do it.

I have a P4 2.4 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD (Windows 98 & XP Dual OS) with a Samsung DVD combo drive

Please guide me

Qwerty, the Windows Sound Recorder can record only 1 minute clips. Please read the question carefully before replying.

Coming back to the original question, if you have a dedicated soundcard like a Creative, you would probably have gotten recording software with it that will let you record long clips. I believe Audacity is a freeware that lets you record audio through a microphone input.

^ Windows Sound Recorder does not allow more than 1 minute.

Download Crystal MP3 Recorder from http://www.flydownloads.com/download...p3recorder.exe

You forgot to mention that the version of MS Office should be Office XP and above

Hi,

Try Polder Bit Sound Recorder...

It is good to such an extent, that u can even record any music from ur cassette and mix it with ur voice and stuff....

The bundled Nero Utilities are good for sound recording n optimizing.

IMO, the best way is to attach a Microphone and use Audacity. Its good. I have recently converted some old cassettes into Audio CD and MP3 with the help of audacity, a RF cord and my cassette player. Now my favourite, dying music will stay with me forever
