Tips:

Recording

Go to the Record section of Recordifier.  Touch the green Record button to begin a recording.  A file, named with the current date and time, will be created to hold the audio from a single recording session.

To pause recording, touch the round Pause button located just to the right of the Record button.  Touch it again to resume recording.

To stop recording, touch the red Stop button.  The new recording will appear in the list.  The list of recordings is always sorted by recording date and time, with the newest file at the top.

After the new recording is placed in the list, Recordifier will automatically navigate to the Info panel for the recording so that the name can be edited, notes can be added, or the recording can be played.  Information about the file is presented there as well.

New recordings cannot be appended to existing recording files.

When Your Recording Must Not Be Interrupted

The iPhone OS always gives priority to the phone and certain alarms and alerts, so an incoming call or text message, or a calendar alert  could cause your recording to be interrupted.  When these interruptions occur, Recordifier will pause recording and then restart it after the interruption has passed, but some data will be lost.

In some cases, you may want to ensure that this does not happen.  To guarantee an uninterrupted recording, you should deliberately silence your iPhone by taking the following steps:

1.In the Settings application, ensure that the iPhone has Airplane Mode turned on.

2.In the Calendar application, ensure that there are no event alarms enabled during the planned recording period.

3.In the Clock application, ensure that there are no clock alarms enabled during the planned recording period.

4.Do not move the Ringer/Silent switch during the recording. When changing Ringer/Silent mode, an iPhone may vibrate, depending on user settings.

5.Lastly, do not plug the iPhone into a power source during the recording. When an iPhone gets plugged into power, it beeps twice or vibrates, according to user settings.

Playback

To play a recording, select the file by touching the list over its name.  Recordifier will display the info panel for the recording.  Touch the Play button to play the recording.  Touch the Pause button to pause it.  When the recording has finished playing it will automatically be re-queued so that it can be played again.

Touching the Recordifier (back) button will navigate back to the list of recordings and the current recording will cease playback.

File management

To rename a file or add notes about the recordings, select the file by touching the list over its name.  Recordifier will display the Info panel for the recording.   Touch the title field to edit the name; touch the notes field to add comments about the recording.

To delete a recording, select the file by touching the list over its name.  Recordifier will display the info panel for the recording.  Touch the Delete button.

Sharing

Go to the Share section of Recordifier.  To allow anyone on your local area network to see and access your recordings, turn Guest Access ON.  For secure sharing, leave Guest Access OFF and enter a User Name and Password.  Turn the Server ON.  The Bonjour service name for your server will appear below the Server switch.

Using a Bonjour-enabled browser like Safari or Camino for Mac or Internet Explorer for Windows, you can connect to your iPhone and transfer recordings to another computer.  Bonjour is a part of Mac OS X.  It is also available for Windows from Apple:

(http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html),

and includes an Internet Explorer plugin.

Safari (Mac or Windows)i:  Click on the Bookmarks icon in the toolbar.  Select the Bonjour item on the left, then from the list of services on the right, select your Recordifier Recordings web page.  On the Recordifier web page, click on any of the file links to begin the download to your desktop. For more information go to: http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/bonjour.html or type 'Bonjour' into Safari's help window.

Camino (Mac): Open the Bookmarks Manager window (menu item Bookmarks->Show Bookmarks Manager.) Select the Bonjour item on the left, then from the list of services on the right, select your Recordifier Recordings web page.  On the Recordifier web page, click on any of the file links to begin the download to your desktop. For more information go to: http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/bonjour.html or type 'Bonjour' into Camino's help window.

Internet Explorer (Windows): Once Bonjour for Windows is installed, you'll find a new option for the Explorer bar, Bonjour. Open the Bonjour Explorer bar, then from the list of services on the left, select your Recordifier Recordings web page.  On the Recordifier web page, click on any of the file links to begin the download to your desktop. For more information go to: http://www.zeroconf.org/webbrowsers.html. You must have Bonjour installed to access Recordifier recordings via Internet Explorer on Windows.

Firefox (Mac or Windows): Since Firefox doesn't support Bonjour on Mac or Windows, you'll need to use another browser to access your Recordifier Recordings.

You can also transfer files from a Recordifier host (sender), running on an iPhone on your local area network, to your iPhone. On the client (receiving) iPhone, go to the Share section of Recordifier. Touch the Local services item.  Recordifier will use Bonjour to locate any available Recordifier hosts. (You may be asked to enter a user name & password).  Touch the name of a Recordifier host to get a list of files to transfer.  Touch the download button next to the file name to transfer a file to your iPhone.  Listen to the file using Recordifier.  Transfers will be interrupted by incoming phone calls.

NOTE:  To save battery life, sharing is automatically turned off when you exit the Configuration panel.
