Stepvoice Recorder:
StepVoice Recorder is real-time recording software with MP3 file format
support. It allows recording from any sound source, such as microphone,
line in or any sounds currently playing on your PC (internet radio, movie
sounds, etc.).
Real-time mp3 encoding saves hard disk space and time, because you
don't need to encode recorded sounds later. This feature is critical for
longer recordings.
A wide range of mp3 bitrate settings allows to vary sound quality from
telephone (3.5 to 7.0 MB/hour) to CD (3.5 to 7.0 MB/minute).
With recording visualization you can easily adjust volume level to get
best results.
The StepVoice Recorder features include, but not limited by:
* Support recording from any sound source;
* Supporting file formats: MP3;
* Direct MP3 encoding without temporary WAV files;
* Recording/Playback visualization;
* Auto name system;
* Friendly interface.
Now shareware, but last freeware version is still available on their
downloadpage:
