PONGen – Programmable OneNote Notebook Generator

What does it do?

PONGen grabs the current TechEd 2005 Orlando Breakout schedule from an RSS feed, and generates multiple OneNote notebooks containing the latest Breakout Session schedule.

What happens when you run PONGen?

PONGen is a console application.  You are not asked for any input in this version.  PONGen opens the OneNote Importer object, creates a tab called General Info, and adds a page containing the full TechEd Orlando agenda for the week as published at the TechEd Conference Agenda page.  A tab for each day of the conference (Sunday 5th – Friday 10th) is then created, and a daily Agenda page is added to each tab.

The RSS feed of the schedule of Breakout Sessions is then downloaded from http://www.msteched.com/content/BreakoutRSS.aspx, and loaded into an in-memory dataset.  The description field of each session is parsed using regular expressions to extract the date, time slot and location, which are also added to the dataset.  This dataset is then used to generate a page for each time slot, which contains all the Breakout Sessions that are available during that time slot.

Hackable: Look in the TechEdScheduler.xml for opportunities to customize.  Sections currently wired to the code are , , and .  Right now, the stuff listed in and is hard-coded for the TechEd feed, and will most likely cause errors on other feeds.

Transcribe Audio Recordings

Transcribe Audio Recordings – attempts to transcribe audio as it is being recorded

• The PowerToy has to create the note so that it can import data into it.
• Then you just record audio with OneNote as usual. You can still add your own notes at the same time.
• The PowerToy does speech recognition and uses the SimpleImport to add the text.
• Afterwards you can search the text or jump around in the audio file by the insertion timestamp on the text.

• NOTE this requires the SAPI 5.1 runtime to be installed. Tablet PCs should already have this installed
