Review on πŸŽ™ Sony ICD-PX820D Digital Voice Recorder - 2GB Flash Memory - Includes Voice Editor Software (Black) by Joseph Quade

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not suitable for decoding anything, esp lectures

The recorder is excellent although it seems too light and thin. I only had it for a few days; time will really tell. However, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a whole different story. It took me a while to go through the help topics to decipher them after following their steps for a new voice as there are NO docs/manuals/instructions on anything that comes with the software. Also, don't expect it to be efficient enough, at least initially, to provide accurate decryption. My voice accounts for about 65-80% of what I said. I received a boxed lecture recording and transcription product, apparently with a voice that the program does not recognize, and tried to transcribe the lecture recordings using the parameters set for my own voice. It's almost ridiculous how bad the software was, about 20-30% of what the professor said was transcribed - mostly useless. I'll keep trying and see if the software "learns" to get better. Just take a look.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
