How do I record a meeting?
Introduction.
You can record a meeting in several ways: using a dictating
machine, a computer with a usual sound recorder software, or a computer with a
special program created to record conferences. Here we will discuss a program
that falls into the latter category, Minutes
of Meeting Recorder. Benefits of using it are quite obvious: you can record
and take notes at the same time and store everything in one place. Thus, after
the recording is complete, you will get not only the complete audio feed but
also your own summary of the meeting (can be easily exported to popular formats
or printed).
Step 1: Download and install the program.
Download Minutes
of Meeting Recorder to a known location. Run the downloaded setup
and follow its instructions to install the program.
Step 2: Start the program. Fill in the meeting information.
Launch the conference recorder. The main window will be shown:
As you can see everything is simple: just fill in the information about the
conference, its place, date and short summary, and you can start recording right
away. But we will look a bit deeper and see what additional features we can get
from this meeting recorder.
Step 3: Set the conference recording options.
After the information fields are filled and formatted using the special
font editing toolbar, click "Options" - "Settings" to customize the
conference
recording process.
Here we can adjust recording volume and the noise suppression level. These are the
most important options in voice recording. Select your microphone
and use it as the
recording device by clicking the "Microphone" button. For smooth recording set "Recording priority" to "Real time" in the lower right
corner of the window.
Check other settings and click "OK" when done.
Step 4: Recording the meeting.
Now we can proceed directly to the recording process. The navigation pane in the
upper left corner enables us to record, look through and play back the recorded audio
tracks. To start, simply hit the "red dot" button and the program will
begin capturing the sound. The conference recorder allows to work with multiple
chapters called "sections", included in one recording project. This means that
each logical part of the meeting will have its own audio track, however it will
be represented as a part of the whole meeting recording.
After recording necessary parts of the conference you can hit "Stop" to finish recording and
start a new track. When the conference is over, simply click "File" - "Save as" to
save all recorded tracks as a part of a project. If you click "File" - "New" you
will be able to begin recording a new meeting with new agenda, preferences,
etc.
The "Quick access" buttons under the recording navigation controls allow us to
get to the most used functions faster, without using menus and toolbars.
Step 5: Edit recorded audio.
After recording all tracks we can do some audio editing. Simply click "Edit" -
"Audio editor" on the toolbar:
A simple editor will pop up. With its help you can change the beginning
and the end of a recording using the timeline and markers. Play back, cut and
save the edited lecture recording with a few clicks. Click "OK"
to return to the main window.
After saving your project you will get a nicely organized recording of the meeting with
excellent sound quality.
The trial version of Minutes
of Meeting Recorder can be tested during 42 days of its evaluation period. Also
you will be able to record only one minute of each audio section in one meeting.
If you like the program, you can register it and use without any limitations.
