Quikscribe Pocket Recorder QS-PR

The Quikscribe Pocket Recorder is a professional software solution for the Pocket PC platform under Windows Mobile 5.0 and later.

Eight years ago Quikscribe created a file system called an Intelligent Audio File. An IAF is special because besides containing audio content, it can contain relevant text, graphics, place markers, and web URLs.

So how is this relevant?

Technology has also progressed to the point where a device that is as powerful as a five-year-old desktop computer (but is about the same size as a mobile phone) can spend its day attached to your belt.

This device, known as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), allows you to record your dates and times of appointments, synchronises with the contacts on your Personal Computer, allows you to review word documents, listen to music, talk to other people, surf the Internet, watch movies and now - efficiently dictate and send audio files for transcription.

This is why the Quikscribe Pocket Recorder (QPR) was invented. To let you get out of the office and take back control of your time. Whether you are stuck in traffic or waiting in court or out shopping or down at the beach, you can continue working.

And with the appropriate data plan you won’t even need to go to the office. You can send your files from wherever you are if you have a WiFi (802.11b) or broadband connection.

• Programmable Hardware Buttons
  Most Pocket PCs have hardware buttons to launch different Pocket PC applications. The Quikscribe Pocket Recorder provides the ability to re-assign these hardware buttons to specific recorder functions.  This means you can customize the functionality to suit your needs. Additionally, it means you can keep recording while involved with other applications (assuming they don’t use the same set of buttons.)
• Phone
  Some Pocket PCs also offer phone capabilities. These types of devices generally offer the highest level of value.  If your Pocket PC does not have phone capabilities, you may be limited to WiFi (Wireless) connectivity requiring a dataplan and a wireless hotspot.
• Keyboard
  Many Pocket PCs offer built-in keyboards, which makes text data entry easier. If a Pocket PC does not have a physical keyboard, you can use a software keyboard. Bluetooth keyboards are also available (such as the Stowaway) that are almost full size and allow for very fast alphanumeric and textual data entry (assuming you can type).
• Touch Screen Size, Resolution and Colours
  Pocket PC screens typically come in Portrait or Square shapes. Portrait being either 240 x 320 (QVGA) or 480 x 640 (VGA) or Square being 240 x 240 or 480 x 480. Depending on your requirements - resolution or size may be important. Additionally the number of active colours displayed varies but is typically 65000 or greater. The higher the resolution and colour palette, the better the screen image will appear.
