Does Code Warrior 8.0 can handle this task ?
any compiler can handle the task. codewarrior, gcc, maybe even the other language compilers (NSBasic et al) > 2. Which version of Palm OS start to support Sound capturing? you need to check a feature to see if it exists, its not Palm OS version specific, most things now are modules in palmos, and, they have a feature to determine if they are available or not. > 3. Do all models of Palm have build-in microphone can fulfil my need ? no. only a select few have a microphone - currently, they include: Tungsten|T Tungsten|T2 Tungsten|T3 most other devices support playback only. > 4. Does it really feasible ? sure, there is processing power there - thats not a problem. the real feasibility comes down to what you want to do with it. if you want to have someone say 'exit application' and the application quits - you are looking at doing something maybe 4-5 developers worldwide can achieve (who have *extensive* knowledge of PalmOS). if you want to have an application where you analyse the wav file that has been recorded and just display the text back to the user (ie: dictophone -> text file) - its definately feasible. > Does any expert or professional can give me a helping hand ? there are many developers who may be able to help you. http://palmsource.mobilecoders.com/result.asp?palmsource=Yes finding a certified developer is always a good start - if you are looking at outsourcing. also finding someone who is familiar with audio generation/processing might help as well; but, i dont think there wont be a problem to find information on the subject. if you are looking at doing it yourself - it'll take 10x as long, as the things you want to do may require a long learning curve. sometimes hiring a certified developer costs more, but, you get the product faster - and, reliably. --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mobilewizardry.com/members/aaron_ardiri.php [profile] -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
