Black Cat Systems Releases Audiocorder 4.7.0
Black Cat Systems Releases Audiocorder 4.7.0
WESTMINSTER, MD (January 26, 2006) - Black Cat Systems announces that
Audiocorder version 4.7.0 has been released. The latest version adds an
intelligent "Voice VOX" feature which can distinguish between human voice
and music vs static and noise, and assist in automated recordings.

recorder. This allows you to set the volume that the sound must reach to
begin recording, and the volume at which it should end recording. It also
allows you to set the trigger length for the start and stop values, which
helps you to eliminate recording short bursts of sound or ending the
recording process during a short pause (such as in normal speech).
Audiocorder may also be programmed with a recording schedule, specifying
when it should start and stop recording, much like a VCR. In addition, you
