I am an IT Tech currently in an upgrade project for local government. I am totally new to FTR. Reporter and Log Notes are not co-existing together so I decided to research your forums. I did see on version 5.4 Log Notes is not needed due to Reporter 5.4 includes Log notes. Also stated you will have to install recorder to have the ablilty to take notes on the recording machine. What is recorder???
Reporter 5.5 also installs TheRecord Manager and TheRecord Player. Is "recorder" one of those???
Please excuse my not knowing the FTR products 
and thanks in advance!!!!
