Record
The recording process is simple. Install the SoniClear software, plug in the supplied microphone, and start recording. It's that easy. No tape or batteries are needed.

Familiar tape recorder-style controls are used for starting and stopping, setting record volume, and displaying volume level.

Audio is captured through the built-in computer sound card or an external sound system (USB or Firewire). SoniClear digitally records the sound on the computer disk drive using industry-standard audio file formats. Recording files can be managed like any other computer file, saving on CD, transferring over networks, and sending via the Internet.

Organize
Patent-pending methods for processing the recordings enhances the productivity of meeting participants, increasing the value of meetings in any organization. The note-taking features of SoniClear make it easy to locate important points contained in long meetings.

Enter your agenda items and predefined notes into the program before the meeting. While recording the meeting, click to add agenda items and notes of events as they occur. The software records the note along with a timestamp of when the note was entered. You can edit notes while recording the meeting, or at a later time.

The collection of notes from a meeting can be used like a “table of contents”. Any section of the recording can be played back by simply clicking on a note. No more hunting around on audio tapes to locate the important points to review.

Produce Minutes
SoniClear software speeds up the process of creating written minutes of your meetings. Export the entered notes entered to a word processor to use as the minutes outline. Play back portions of the meeting for transcription, using the notes to quickly locate the section.

Built-in VoiceBoost Signal Enhancement makes listening to meetings easier and clearer. The sound enhancement provided by VoiceBoost is designed specifically for improving voice intelligibility.

SoniClear software includes a "Virtual Foot Pedal" for starting and stopping playback using a keystroke. This allows you to control playback during transcription without having to take your hands off the keyboard. An optional hardware USB Foot Pedal is available for users who prefer controlling playback exactly like operating a transcription machine.

Share
Share meeting recordings as a reference document for review purposes, for people who could not attend. Recordings can be handed out on CD. The recording can also be shared from a local area network drive, or it can be posted to your website for download from the Internet.

When listening on your desktop or laptop computer, notes created in SoniClear make it easy to hear the highlights of the meeting without having to replay the entire recording. Recordings can even be copied to any MP3 player for portable playback.
