1. A system for capturing data in a first media format and storing a representation thereof in a database at a location on a network, comprising: a capture device having: a first data converter for interfacing with and capturing external information from a first external information source proximate in time to the generation thereof as first external captured information, the first data converter processing the first external captured information in a first media format as first captured information within the capture device, the first data converter initiating the processing of the first external captured information as first captured information at an initial time and completing processing of the first external captured information as first captured information at a completion time, thus providing a defined set of first captured information representing the first external captured information between the initial time and the completion time, and a transmitter for transmitting as a transmitted defined set of first captured information the defined set of first captured information to the location on the network after the completion time; a system disposed at the location on the network and including: a database, a receiver for receiving the transmitted defined set of first captured information from the transmitter associated with the capture device as a received defined set of first captured information, a system data converter for converting the received defined set of first captured information to a second format as a set of converted first captured information, the second format different than the first media format, the second format being a searchable format, and the database storing the set of converted first captured information.
