Useful Devices for Audio Weblogging?

Posted by Cliff on from the helping-you-speak-your-mind dept.

Henri Poole asks: "I'm advising the Kucinich Presidential campaign on technology and we are looking for an audio webblogging solution. Kucinich's assistant plans to log his own travels and would prefer to do so via voice. We're looking for a device with the following functionality: phone, web, email, audio, and calendar. Verizon is the preferred (but not essential) service and they are advising that we buy Samsung or Kyocera equipment. We'd prefer a free software solution...any sage advice?"

    VoiceMonkey is a new service that lets you do voice logs. Right now it's in beta, so it's free. You call a toll-free number and it records your message as an mp3, which is immediately available online. If you have an existing journal through Blogger, Livejournal, or a host of other services, it can post to them automatically.

    Well try this.
    1. buy a micro cassette recorder or tapeless digital recoder. The device must have a line-out jack. $40 max.
    2. buy a 1/8 male to 1/8 male stereo cable at Radio Shack. S/B $2 to $3
    3. download Audacity from www.freshmeat.net $0
    4. install cable to mic in jack on laptop or desktop sound ports.
    5. Plug other end of cable to line out of recorder
    6. install and run software.

    7. press record button of Audacity and play button on recorder to record.
    8. Finally save as MP3 or Org format.

    That's it.
