recording events in time

[Kurt Kaufman]

I'm interested in developing an application by which external events  
(that is, external to the computer) of different types can be recorded  
by the user.

The application does not have to keep track of intervals smaller than  
one minute, and
would normally be running for sessions of about 6-12 hours at a stretch.

Ultimately, the application has to be able to "intelligently"  
determine, on the basis of gradual accrued experience, which events  
are likely to happen at a given time, and respond accordingly.

I would also like to know if "voice activation" is possible with Rev  
applications, such that voice recording could start as soon as one  
speaks, and would end after a pre-set period of (relative) silence.

Thanks,

Kurt
