APR will detect if it can take advantage of your modem voice capabilities. If it's not possible to work it will inform you with the message that "your modem is not compatible with IS101 command set". Many modern modems now support this standard and many manufacturers adopt but nothing is for sure. Usually modems having Conexant chip will respond positively and APR will work sufficiently.

Modems are hardware derives that make it possible to connect a phone line via standard serial port or USB.  Modem stands for modulator/demodulator. They modulate the outgoing serial data so the serial port can receive it. Variations include ISDN modems xDSL modems. They are somewhat difficult to work with in a general manner since there are different standards used by modem manufacturers that define communication between an application and the modem.
Many potential APR users ask, "What modem should I buy?" Those of you asking the question probably had a hard time getting a straight answer. Unfortunately, this particular question is difficult to answer. We only suggest the modems we have test APR.
The modem market is extremely dynamic and competitive. Any modem may cease to exist tomorrow or the manufacturer of the modem may have disappeared all of a sudden.
This level of competition has driven margins down to a bare minimum. Unfortunately, the competition seems to be primarily based on price and feature set. Competition is good, but not when it gets to the point that corners are cut.

Sometimes the recording level is really low. If your modem can adjust its preamplifier you can increase the level to meet your requirements. Click "Options" menu command, then "Settings". Settings form will appear. Go to Parameters tab.  The recording level has a default value 128. Increase it or decrease as you want and make a recording to check if it has the right level.

On the lists area right click the mouse. A pop up menu will appear. Choose "Add list" to make a list below your current list or click "Add sublist" to create a sublist.

Yes. You have to be careful because if you decide to delete o list all of the recordings belonging to that list will be deleted. If you want to delete only a recording just select it and delete it.

APR supports mass actions, like mass copy, mass delete, and mass move to another list. Select the recording you want by holding the shift key down and pressing the down arrow or by holding the Ctlr key down and clicking with the mouse the files you want, click the right button for your mouse and select the appropriate action. If you want to select all of the recordings press CTRl^A at the same time and all of them will be selected. After pressing any other key after a selection has been made the selections will come to its original state, that's deselected.

Click the recording you want to write a memo and click the right button of your mouse. After the pop up menu appears click memo. An input text box will appear where you can write your memo. The same action is done with the main menu commands.

If you want to copy a WAV recording to a different folder for some reason select it, click your right mouse button, and select "copy to" command. A form will appear and you can select the folder where you want to copy the file. You can change the default name to any name you like.

Click "Option" main menu command, and then "settings" and "modem" tab. Click the "find modems" button to initiate a new scanning modem procedure. Select the modem you have installed and click "ok" button.

If you use your analog voice modem to connect to Internet this is not possible. Your modem has to be available for this task. If you accidentally call APR when you are connected to Internet it will inform you than the serial port is not available to connect to. If you use a different mode for Internet connections such as a DSL or ISDN modem then you can use it freely.

No. APR works only with analog voice modems that support V.253 (IS-10)1 voice standard.

No. APR may be installed only on Microsoft Windows platform. That's Win 95,98,ME, NT and XP.

If you use your modem to connect to Internet you have to release it from APR. Click "Options" main menu command and the click "Modem off". Then your modem is released and you can use it for any other purpose.

When attempting to run APR (for the first time) a message box containing the following error is displayed:

The Apr.EXE is linked to the missing export OLEAUT32.DLL: VarNot The program that is being run requires a later version of OLE Automation (i.e.LEAUT32.DLL).

This error can be resolved by downloading the latest DCOM service pack from Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com): At the last time of checking, for Windows 95 the latest version was DCOM95 for Windows 95 version1.3
Alternately download the latest version of Internet Explorer; this will update the DCOM components at the same time.

TAPI stands for Telephony Application Programming Interface. It is an attempt by Microsoft to simplify the process of communication with the modem. It is a standardized API with witch an application can interface. It is supposed to simplify things in a standardized way. Under TAPI, a great deal of burden is removed form the application developer in favour of placing the burden on the designers of the operating systems and the modem manufacturers. This point has good and bad sides. It's great if everything worked as planned, but it doesn't happen always this way.

No. For the time being APR doesn't support TAPI.
