Extracting Pocket Outlook recordings

I found this and it works great for me using Audacity.

(1) Copy .pwi (Note) file to PC

(2) Open Audacity

(3) Get the Note audio into Audacity by:

Project menu
Import as raw data

(4) Select all of the audio by clicking below its file name at left of the graphic of the file

(5) Click on dropdown menu (arrow next to file name)

Set Rate to 11025 Hz

(6) Convert to WAV by:

File menu
Export as wav

Portable Apps

I have found something very useful to me and maybe even indispensable to someone else. If you have a decent size USB disk, say 2GB and up, you can take many everyday applications with you wherever you go and use them on any computer where ever you are. They are PortableApps. Applications that are small enough to run from a USB disk.

Some of the Applications include a web browser, mail application, internet messenger, a full office suite, image editor, web editor, audio editor, games and more. All of it free and able to fit on your USB drive ready when you are where ever you go.
