Note. With Calls autorecord turned on VITO Audio Notes always starts and stays in background after soft reset. In this case you can't stop it with usual task switchers, you can "launch" it "again", i.e. bring its window to the front from Programs > Audio Notes and choose exit in Menu.

After you have started VITO Audio Notes you will see the list of voice notes displaying all your notes both stored on a Storage card and in the main memory. The list is empty if you have no records, i.e. when you start Audio Notes for the first time. All records are saved to the folders My Documents My Audio Notes on Storage card or in the main memory. There is also the info bar at the bottom of the screen that shows the size of a highlighted voice note and the date and time when it was recorded.
Now it takes just a sec to find a recording in the long list of all your audio notes. You just type a part of its name using on-screen keyboard on Pocket PC or dial buttons on Smartphones and the program displays only the recordings with the typed symbols.
The most recent recordings always appear at the top of the list.
