SoniClear Enterprise, and SoniClear SalesVoice make it easy to record and take lecture notes on your laptop computer. Now you can capture every word and take notes with a single click. You can use the annotated recording to quickly review important points in the lecture, and review material that will be included on tests. Share your recording with students who could not attend. Or if you can't make a lecture, have someone record it for you with SoniClear. They can post the file on the network, or send the file in MP3 format. You can listen on your laptop, or download it to any portable MP3 player, and listen while jogging. SoniClear software installs on your Windows laptop, and can be run in the background while you run PowerPoint slideshows or take additional notes in Word. No tape or batteries are needed, and built-in VoiceBoost Signal Enhancement makes listening to lectures easier and clearer. For a comparison of SoniClear products and features, see the Products Page.
