Tutorial Part 3: Recording Audio and Annotations

The third part of creating an eMail inChorus message for this tutorial is to add an audio and annotation recording. eMail inChorus records both your voice and the actions you execute on the Whiteboard.

  1. Prepare to start recording.

    Turn to the first page of the Whiteboard by clicking the First Page button on the page navigator controls. Make sure the microphone is connected and ready to use.

  2. Start recording and introduce your message.

    Click the red Record button on the recording controls and say "Hi! This is a message I made with eMail inChorus."

  3. Add annotations to your message.

    With the recording still going, click the Annotation tool on the drawing toolbar. Click and drag slowly to "point" at the screen capture on the Whiteboard, while saying, "I can send screen images of anything on my computer and use an annotation tool to point out the things I am talking about."

  4. Add a closing statement.

    To finish off your message, click the Next Page button on the page navigator to display page two of the Whiteboard and say, "How did you like this message? Don't you think you should get eMail inChorus, too?"

  5. Stop and review your recording.

    Click the Stop button on the recording controls. To play the message, click the Play button.

  6. Send the message.

    Select Send from the File menu.

    Congratulations! You have just sent your first multimedia eMail inChorus message.
