What is PsycLab Mobile?
PsycLab Mobile enables language researchers to make a sequence of audio
recordings that sample a research subject's natural spoken language.
PsycLab Mobile's
many features make it easy to record multiple audio files on a
pre-defined schedule. PsycLab Mobile is a software-based implementation of
Digital EAR technology.
PsycLab Mobile software
is designed for the PocketPC PDA platform and
Windows Mobile 2003
SE operating system.
How does PsycLab Mobile work?
After installation,
a few simple setup parameters are entered into the software, a Queue
file containing the recording schedule is generated, and the Queue is
started. Every recording file is saved with a
name that includes a subject ID, date and time stamp. This means that each
recording is uniquely identified and tagged to a specific subject. This helps minimize the possibility of
confusing recording files between multiple subjects.
The Queue file is a comma-separated-variable (.csv) text file that can be
easily read by Microsoft
Excel, Word or a any text editor program. The Queue file is useful for
transcription of recordings, as it lists the name of each recording file and other pertinent information such as start
time, file size and PocketPC battery level at the time the
recording was made.
