Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a storage device configured to provide storage of digital information for an event;
- and
- a voice recording machine, comprising:
- a storage device connector, configured to couple with the storage device to communicatively couple the storage device and the voice recording machine;
- and
- a computing device, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program code tangibly stored thereon, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor to:
- run a startup process for the voice recording machine;
- run a user-interactive setup process to generate a configuration of a voice message recording process;
- activate and run the voice message recording process to prompt, capture, store, and organize audio messages communicated to the voice message process from the according to the configuration of the voice message recording process, wherein when the configuration is not generated before the activation and running of the voice message recording process, the computing device will use a default configuration comprising default settings for the voice message recording process;
- and
- transfer the recorded and organized messages from the voice recording machine to the storage device after a user has selected to end the voice message recording process which includes an indication of the ending of the event,
- wherein the storage device is not reusable for storing additional messages after the transfer of the messages unless a license key is entered at the commencement of a reuse process, and
- wherein the computer program code comprises further instructions executable by the processor to play the messages and communicate the played messages after the transfer of the messages.

A system, comprising:
- a storage device configured to provide storage of digital information for an event;
- and
- a voice recording machine, comprising:
- a wireless communications interface, configured to couple with a wireless communications interface of a telephone to communicatively couple the telephone and the voice recording machine;
- an electrical connector, configured to couple with a power cable to electrically couple an electrical power source and the voice recording machine with the power cable;
- a storage device connector, configured to couple with the storage device to communicatively couple the storage device and the voice recording machine;
- and
- a computing device, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program code tangibly stored thereon, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor to:
- run a startup process for the voice recording machine;
- run a user-interactive setup process to generate a configuration of a voice message recording process;
- activate and run the voice message recording process to prompt, capture, store, and organize audio messages communicated to the voice message process from the telephone according to the configuration of the voice message recording process, wherein when the configuration is not generated before the activation and running of the voice message recording process, the computing device will use a default configuration comprising default settings for the voice message recording process;
- and
- transfer the recorded and organized messages from the voice recording machine to the storage device after a user has selected to end the voice message recording process which includes an indication of the ending of the event.

A system, comprising:
- a storage device configured to provide storage of digital information for an event;
- and
- a voice recording machine, comprising:
- a first electrical circuit, configured to integrate the voice recording machine with a telephone;
- a second electrical circuit, configured to couple with a power cable to electrically couple an electrical power source and the voice recording machine or the telephone with the power cable;
- a storage device circuit, configured to couple with the storage device to communicatively couple the storage device and the voice recording machine;
- and
- a computing device, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program code tangibly stored thereon, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor to:
- run a startup process for the voice recording machine;
- run a user-interactive setup process to generate a configuration of a voice message recording process;
- activate and run the voice message recording process to prompt, capture, store, and organize audio messages communicated to the voice message process from the telephone according to the configuration of the voice message recording process, wherein when the configuration is not generated before the activation and running of the voice message recording process, the computing device will use a default configuration comprising default settings for the voice message recording process;
- and
- transfer the recorded and organized messages from the voice recording machine to the storage device after a user has selected to end the voice message recording process which includes an indication of the ending of the event.
