Parents should know that Otter Voice Notes software is also a productivity program for both the iPhone and iPad which records audio conversations on its own and then stores them for future reference. It is more useful for older learners who may benefit from capturing lectures, class discussions, and other group discussions to supplement study and note-taking. The software can be used as a transcription tool in combination with the classroom computer, which allows the teacher to easily listen to recorded material and make notes on the fly.
The Otter Voice Notes software has a neat feature that allows you to save your conversations. This means that you can have many copies of each conversation you record. You can store as many as you need or as few as you like. When you save an individual conversation, the names of those involved will appear above the recording. This is particularly useful if you are teaching a class and would want the participants to take notes individually.
To use this software, simply download it, install it and then let it begin saving audio files. Then, choose an option from the menu to export the audio file. Choose a name and location where the exported file will be stored and select a desired level of compression to save bandwidth. Once the export is completed, you will receive a PDF file containing a series of text documents. However, to transcribe the information into a transcript, you will need Adobe Acrobat Professional 10 to open the PDF document.
