Selecting a Voice Digital Recorder
By Stacy FoxBecause the technology for a voice digital recorder has changed a lot in the last few years, I wanted to outline some of the features you should consider when buying a new one. There are many new types of recorders on the market. If you are just starting the purchasing process, you may be confused as to what VDR to choose. Hopefully this article will help you. Consider the following:
Digital Recording vs. Tape Recording: Voice digital recorders have all but obliterated tape technology. You don’t have to bother with multiple tapes, broken tapes, or the low quality audio of tapes.
Connecting a voice digital recorder to your PC: Inexpensive models don’t let you connect to a PC to download audio files. But if you go up one notch, you can generally get one with a PC connection.
Digital Storage of VDRs: Did you know that you can store other types of data in your recorder? Check the labeling to find out what capacity your VDR has.
Features you need: Are you going to use your VDR for professional transcription? Then you’ll need a higher end model than if you are using it for personal reasons.
Recording Time: Most digital recorders tell you how much recording time they carry. But beware! This is time at the lowest quality which is not recommended. For instance, one company advertises that they carry 555 hours on their 2GB recorder. But, if you play it at its highest capacity, you only get 35 hours.
Transcription: If you wish to transcribe your recordings, you will need voice recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
I hope you found this article helpful in deciding what voice digital recorder is right for you. Having a new recorder will make your life a whole lot easier, so I hope you find one you like.
