Voice recorder on XP Pro ?

[Robert X]

Hello,

I'm using a laptop (ASUS A8JA) with windows XP Pro. I have a sound card and
a microphone which allows me to chat via Skype for example.
Now I would like to record my own voice (for english lessons) on this
laptop. What have I to do : add any software ?
Thanks for your help

Robert

Windows XP has a built-in facility, "Sound Recorder". However, it has a
rather limited total recording time. There is a workaround to extend times
but it is probably easier to just download/use a program, Audacity for
sound recording:
