  • A useful 1GB memory gives you the capacity to store and share files via the USB port, which makes it ideal for personal, portable use.
• Slow and fast voice playback
  • Recordings can be played back at a slower speed to make it easier to take written notes.
• Index mark feature
  • The handy index function lets you mark a particular point in a recording or playback for easy retrieval.
• Lightweight and portable design
  • Small and lightweight, you'll hardly notice it's with you. Pop it in your pocket or bag and take it anywhere. The durable casing and attractive, ergonomic design will make you want to carry it everywhere you go.
• Voice-activated recording
  • When enabled, recording will start automatically when you start speaking. Recordings stop automatically after you stop speaking and restart automatically when you start speaking again. No words are lost.
• Adjustable microphone sensitivity
  • The signal–to-noise (S/N) ratio of the high-sensitivity microphone is far better than those of standard microphones. Recording sensitivity is increased (picks up more voice signal) without compromising sound quality.

  • The Digital Voice Tracer can schedule a voice alarm to remind you of important meetings, events or telephone calls.
• Extra large backlit LCD
  • The large graphical display lets you view all important file information at a glance, thanks to the backlit display, even in poor lighting conditions.
• USB powered recording
  • To record long conferences, the Digital Voice Tracer can be powered through a USB port. Connect the USB cable from a computer to the Digital Voice Tracer, and then press and hold the record button on the Voice Tracer until REC is shown on the display.
