Buying Voice Recorders

If you are planning to go shopping for a voice recorder, make sure you educate yourself about the different kinds of recorders available in the market. The following are some useful buying tips which will help you choose the best voice recorder for yourself.

For first time users, students and amateur journalists a simple microcassette dictaphone would be ideal. These devices are pocket friendly and easy to use.  They come with built in microphones and speakers and the only extra accessory you need to buy are microcassettes.

More advanced users who need a voice recorder for transcription or business purposes should invest in a digital voice recorder.  However, before you buy one, keep the following points in mind-

Voice quality- Check for the audio clarity of the recorded files, sometimes manufacturers sacrifice clarity for more memory space.

Memory space- You don't want to miss out quotes from an important meeting or interview because your voice recorder ran out of memory space, right? Therefore, make sure that the device you buy offers enough storage to suit your needs.

User friendliness- A remote control, USB cable, a good headphone set, at least 2 rechargeable batteries are some of the features which make a voice recorder user friendly.

Additional features- You may have to pay more for additional features, but it's worth the investment if they suit your needs. For instance voice activation, file management ability, LCD display, etc are some useful features.

Transcription software- If you want to transcribe your audio files you will need a transcription software. While some recorders come with built in transcription feature, for others you will have to purchase the software separately.

Based on your needs you may also have to purchase certain accessories like external microphones, audio adaptors and foot switches etc
