Top 7 Digital Voice Recorder Transcribers

I really like the versatility of this digital voice recorder; you can create a podcast, play music or transcribe your recorded voice files into text easily (Dragon NaturallySpeaking Speech Recognition software is included). Sony's ICD-SX700 digital voice recorder also provides lots of recording capability with large built-in stereo microphones, multiple recording modes and up to 372 hours of recording time in LP mode. One GB of flash memory and features such as Overwrite (which let you correct dictation after playback), Add and playback speed control make this digital voice recorder ideal for academic or business purposes.

This is one of Olympus' top of the line digital voice recorders intended to meet professional dictation/transcription needs and it shows, from the customizable navigation pod through the excellent sound quality and file management abilities. Features I especially like include the large backlit LCD, file edit function (which lets you insert and overwrite on an existing recording file), the ability to place index marks, and being able to end one dictation and start another by just pressing the 'New' button. Being equipped with a 1GB SD Card and DSS Player Software are also definite pluses. Supports both Windows and Macintosh systems.

Whether you want to podcast, record meetings or listen to music, this digital voice recorder will do it well. It has six recording modes (three stereo and three monaural) and a highly sensitive detachable stereo microphone coupled with four directional microphone modes and euphony, (surround sound support) guarantees quality sound. Two GB of internal memory gives up to 530 hours of recording and features such as a customisable playback speed of 50-200% and podcast function bookmarking make this digital recorder a treat to use. Another big plus: the Olympus DS-61 digital voice recorder comes with DSS Player Software (Version 7).

Voice email function, add/overwrite functions, digital pitch control, incremental rewind; this Sony digital voice recorder is packed with features to make dictation and editing voice recordings easier, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred speech recognition software is included to meet your transcription needs. This recorder's professional quality sound, though, is its main selling point.

For business, professional and student purposes, the Olympus DS-40 is a great all-around digital voice recorder at a good price point. The ability to record and playback WMA media format gives this digital recorder more versatility than most and it's packed with features. Voice guidance, four playback modes and and a high-sensitivity detachable stereo microphone are just a few. You can even record and create podcasts if you like! With 512MB of built-in memory, 136 hours of recording time in LP mode and DSS Player software for managing voice files included, this digital voice recorder is an excellent choice.

Both recording and transciption are easy with this digital voice recorder (Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred software is included). It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles as far as features go, but it does have voice activated recording, digital voice up, and a triple microphone design for more accurate recording. The digital voice recorder stores up to 512MB, has MP3 playback, and offers up to 185 hours of recording time. All in all, a good package at a good price.
