Abstract
A system and method for implementing highly efficient recording on computers. To generate a computer-based sound recording a user merely executes a single button-push/keystroke. For example, the user moves a mouse pointer to a screen icon or graphical user interface button and clicks. Sound will be recorded for the period in which the mouse button is in the “down” position. Thus, sound is recorded from the moment the mouse button is moved to the “down” position to the moment it is returned to the “up” position. The recording is automatically stored in a predetermined location so that the user does not have to specify a storage location.
