Digital voice recorder with time stamp
I am looking for a digital voice recorder that can time-stamp the
recordings in some way (ideally in the file-name, perhaps as audio added to the beginning of the recording?). Besides that, my requirements would be small and light, reasonable audio quality (voice), and high speed computer interface (in other words, don't make me play the audio back and re-record it on the computer). A built-in speaker would be nice, and simple one-handed operation would be good too. Background (if you care): I have used a micro-cassette recorder for years to take notes while hiking and photographing. This lets me easily note what exactly I am shooting, and where, and any other details that I might want to know later. Recently I have tried using my flash-mp3 player, which has a record function, for this. It is small and the audio quality is surprisingly good, better than the micro-cassette, but the user interface is not very convenient for this function. The cassette recorder is easily a one-handed operation, but the mp3 player often requires two hands (or "shifting" the recorder in my hand to reach the other buttons). The cassette recorder has a built-in speaker, while the mp3 player requires headphones to listen to what you recorded. And I would *really* like a time-stamp. Since my digital camera also stamps the time in the EXIF information, this would let me easily correlate the photos and the audio notes. Thanks for any suggestions. Terry |

On high quality its somewhat better sounding. It still has that some of that digital garbling sound but is readable. It has a fixed memory, USB interface, and would probably meet your needs. You can record into different folders, and has time stamps. I have not done anything with the recordings since I was just archieving, being stored ino files with dates and comments. Also has voice activation with variable sensitivity. greg |

Digital voice recorder with time stamp
get some nice recorder that fits your needs and clock that has voice option,
when you need time to be placed on recording you just use that watch. I personally use Creative Nomad and it makes .mp3 or .wav files that has recording time (start) as a filename. ..jukka "Terry" wrote in message ...

I am looking for a digital voice recorder that can time-stamp the recordings in some way. Thanks for the suggestions, folks. It's interesting that neither the Olympus nor the Creative products mention the clock and time-stamp capability in their marketing material. So I dug into the online manuals for the Olympus recorders, and it looks like most of them have a time-stamp. Unfortunately, most of the low-cost models don't have a PC interface (USB). The lowest price I found was in the $100 range. That makes the Creative look attractive, since it is also an MP3 player, and probably has better audio quality. Which model exactly are you referring to? Do you know if all the Creative flash mp3 players have time-stamps on the voice files? Does anyone know of other mp3 players that have time-stamps on the voice recording? Thanks for your help. Terry |
