voice recorder
Voice recorders are recording devices for speech. They are electronic notebooks on which you record short messages to remind you; shopping lists, ideas, agreements or conversation notes. They are compact, battery-powered voice recorders on which, depending on the length of the recording, 100 or more messages can be stored and listened to later. Access to the messages can be done by calling the message number or by listening to the messages sequentially.
Voice recorders can be analog or digital and store their messages on micro-cassettes or solid state drives( SSD). Depending on the memory size, voice recorders have a storage capacity ranging from a few minutes to several hours. They have buttons for the store and recall functions and display screens that show the function and message number.
Voice recorders have a built-in microphone for recording, a speaker for playback, a jack for earphones, and some even have a USB port to download data to personal computers and MP3 players. Voice recorders can work Voice Activated, that is, they start recording as soon as someone speaks. The transition from voice recorder to dictation machine is smooth.
