Remote controlling Slow Speed CD Trancriber


It's possible to control Slow Speed CD Transcriber with a remote controller from your TV, VCR, CD or
Stereo. This allows you to stand with your saxophone or sit at your piano in another part of the room
where you keep your computer and very easily control the software. You'll need a special hardware
device called "Irman", hooked up into your computer. The device connects to one of your serial ports and
doesn't need any external power as it uses some of the unneeded serial port wires. 


How to add support for the "Irman" device?

Move the supplied "plugin" file (cdtr_rem.dll) into the folder where you
keep the main Slow Speed CD Transcriber file (slspcdtr.exe), probably the C:\Slspcdtr folder.

Once this is done, first set the "comport" to the right value, press "apply" and then configure the
buttons by pressing one in the window and then the corresponding one on your remote.

This "plugin" lets you control all basic features of Slow Speed CD Transcriber, such as play, stop,
speed, pitch, start, end settings, etc.

It's also possible to close the software and even shut the PC down by remote.
