586 Chapter 20 Create and Organize Notes
In this exercise, you’ll record and play back an audio clip and a video clip in OneNote.
SET UP You don’t need any practice files, but you do need to have a microphone and
webcam installed to complete the exercise in its entirety. Display a blank notebook
page, and then follow the steps.
- In the page title box, type My Recordings. Then press Enter.
OneNote creates a note container below the timestamp.
- On the Insert tab, in the Recording group, click the Record Audio button.
If you haven’t previously made an Audio Search selection, the Audio Search dialog
box opens.
You can configure OneNote to search spoken words in audio and video recordings.
- If the Audio Search dialog box opens, and you want to make a selection at this
time, click Enable Audio Search or Keep Audio Search Disabled. Otherwise,
click the Close button on the window title bar, and OneNote will prompt you again
later.
Tip If you have a lot of audio and video content stored in a notebook, enabling the
Audio Search feature can slow down the search process. You can change your Audio
Search setting at any time by selecting or clearing the Enable Searching Audio And
Video Recordings For Words check box on the Audio & Video page of the OneNote
Options dialog box.
OneNote inserts a Windows Media Audio (.wma) file icon, a file name that matches
the page name, and the recording start time, and displays the Audio & Video
Recording contextual tab of the ribbon. (Recording...) appears at the beginning of
the page name in the program window title bar to indicate that you’re currently
recording an audio or video clip.
