PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MAIN FEATURES
This recorder has the following features.
v This digital voice recorder converts voice to digital data, applies high-efficiency compression, and
records the compressed data in flash memory.
v Two 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).
v Overwrite recording, insertion recording and partial erasure functions make it easy to correct and
edit recordings.
v Two folders (99 messages/folder) are available for different kinds of recording.
v The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) function saves memory space.
v The 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.
v A 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.
t The 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.)
