Atropos-SB is a multi-channel system to record and archive sound.

The system records sound data (such as, speech, discussions, telephonic conversation, etc.) received through microphone, telephone, voice modem, radio stations or others sources of recordable sound and stores the data on personal computer in the digital format.

You can use Atropos-SB as phone logger, automatic dictaphone or voice notebook.

The system operates on IBM PC compatible personal computer equipped with sound card(s).

A Full Duplex sound card is preferred, otherwise simultaneous playing and recording is impossible.

For multi-channel mode, it is necessary to install several sound cards in your computer.

The recorded sound and its associated information is kept in the database. It is possible to browse through the database and play recorded sound, while other sound is being recorded.

The database does not occupy much of your PC precious hard disc space.

Essentially, the Voice Activated System recording (which starts only when the sound signal is detected) and the sound compression algorithms reduce the required disk space size.

Atropos-SB offers convenient options of sorting, filtering and searching the record, such as; filtration of records by a channel number, by a date, by a start moment of record or by text comments.

The program runs in the background mode and loads the processor almost negligibly. For example, while recording on an AMD K6 300 MHz power processor with 2 channels, it loads less than 10%. So, your computer can operate without overloading concerns.

The database access control and protection is possible with the available option of password protection system.

No special knowledge is needed to use the system. The system works in automatic mode and does not require special service, as well.
