Computer as Tape Recorder for notes?

[Sky Blue Lou]

Hi Guys,

I'm exposing my ignorance here but I need some help and I trust your opinions.

I want to use my computer at work as a "note-taker/dictation machine". Sound quality is not an issue at all. The machine is a PC w/Win98se. It has a Soundscape Audio PCI Wave In (?) soundcard. I've got 10 gigs of free disk space and 64 meg RAM.

With the cheapo pc microphone and Sound Recorder I can, in fact, record voice. The problem is that Sound Recorder has what appears to be a default 60 second file length. This won't do.

Does anyone know of a way to change that setting in Sound Recorder? Or, better yet, can anyone recommend a cheap (free is nice) program for taking notes, recording meetings and whatnot?

Thanks guys,

lou

That little proggie was just the ticket - nothing fancy, does what I wanted.
