What's new in this version

High quality 16-bit stereo recording up to 192KHz

Lecture Recorder can now make high quality 16-bit stereo recordings with the range of sampling rates extended to 192KHz. Like always you choose the sound quality when creating new lecture files. Pay attention that with higher sound quality parameters lecture  files become bigger for the same length of recording.

Compatibility with Vista's Sound and Volume Mixer dialogs

Vista handles audio in somewhat different way than previous versions of Windows. Most notably each audio program installed on the computer got its own volume slider in Volume Mixer dialog. Lecture Recorder is now fully compatible with all those changes so you can use it on Vista computers without problems.

Importing WAV/MP3/OGG files

If you have some audio files that you want to include in a lecture file the program will allow you to do that through this import option. You can import as many files as you want into a single lecture file knowing that each one of them will appear as the new audio section. Supported audio formats for importing are WAV, MP3 and OGG, and you will find the option in the File menu. You should note that direct conversion between two compressed audio formats is not possible so if you are working with a compressed OGG lecture file you will not be able to import MP3 files directly into it.

Run without tray icon

If you want to run Lecture Recorder without its icon being placed in the tray area of the taskbar simply enable "Run without Tray Icon" option that is available among the program's settings.

Transcription playback mode

This unique operation mode is designed to make transcribing recorded material easier. With option enabled playback first goes for some time, then it pauses automatically and finally rewinds a little bit to start a new cycle. The idea is to minimize interaction with the program while transcribing. You can adjust all parameters for this mode so with some experimenting you should be able to find the winning combination - in ideal case you would just start the playback once and type everything in a single pass.

Temporary folder location

While the program is working it has to create some temporary files. By default, those temporary files are saved to the same folder where lecture files are saved. Now you can change the location for temporary files and set it to either temporary folder used by the Windows itself (system) or any other folder you want (custom). Setting a custom folder is a good option when you have additional hard drive with plenty of free space.
