Sound recorder - dictation equipment

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Everyone,

I just tried to use some hand held dictation equipment made by Sony on
FC12.  The equipment was made for MS windows, and I was hopeful that I
could get it to work with wine.  No success.

Does anyone on the list use dictation equipment that will work with
Fedora?  Or does anyone have experience of just attaching a microphone
to a laptop to use something like gnome-sound-recorder?  ALL I need to
do is to be able to create an mp3 file and send it off via e-mail.

Thanks,

Greg Ennis
