PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MAIN FEATURES
This recorder has the following features.
XThis digital voice recorder converts voice to digital data, applies high-efficiency compression, and records the compressed data in flash memory.
XTwo recording modes can be selected; the standard play (SP) mode allows recording of about 75 minutes (1 message continuous recording) of voice data which can later be used in dictation, and the long play (LP) mode allows long recording of about 160 minutes* (1 message continuous recording).
XOverwrite recording, insertion recording and partial erasure functions make it easy to correct and edit recordings.
XTwo folders (99 messages/folder) are available for different kinds of recording.
XThe Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) function saves memory space.
XThe LCD panel includes a dot matrix display and clearly displays message numbers, a real-time counter, time remaining, current time and date, operating mode, warnings and other information.
XA PC transfer accessory is available for transferring recorded voice data to a PC. In combination with IBM's Via Voice voice recognition software (optionally available, but provided if you have bought the DS-150 Via Voice kit), the voice data can be accurately converted text.
XThe recording time available may be shorter than specified if a large number of short recordings are made. (Use the remaining time and recorded time only as references.)
