    Asked by Elizabeth.

    • Answer I do not recommend trying to record someone as it could get you in a lot of trouble depending on how sensitive the information is, but if it is in self defense, there is indeed a setting to turn off beeping.

  • QuestionI don’t know how to transfer to memory card when my recorder full

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Once your memory is full, you need two things. One an adapter that should come with the microSD card which is SD to microSD. Second you need a SD card reader. Connect the SD card reader to your computer. Then transfer the audio files to a folder on your desktop.

  • QuestionCan anyone recommend an easy to use voice activated recorder for someone who is not tech savvy? Thank you!l

    Asked by Msfilly1.

    • Answer I'm not sure how tech savvy you need to be to operate the device. I didn't have any problems with it but I work a lot with electronics. If you are tech savvy and are able to start the recording for the person who is not tech savvy, then this would work great with the voice activated feature. You might want to consider purchasing the plug in external lapel mic. If you are not tech savvy or think you may not be, I'd try to line up an appointment in the store with a sales associate to go over what you need to do. Personally, I don't think it's all that hard. Once all of the options of where the recording will be stored are set it's just a matter of turning it on and pressing the record button.

  • Questionwhat usb cord fits the Ux570 ic VOICE RECORDER

    Asked by deb.

    • Answer I have a different model of the Sony recorder with the same slide out USB connector. This is the Achilles heal of an otherwise outstanding product. The USB stopped making a connection to the USB slot, so I cannot charge the lithium battery anymore. Also, I cannot automatically download the recordings into my laptop using the provided Sound Organizer software. I have plugged the recorder into 3 laptops and multiple USB slots on each laptop. The Sony recorder is not recognized - no connection via the USB connector to the USB slot. Since I still have a need for a recorder, I am researching the current models. My suggestion is that when you plug this into the USB lay the recorder on something so that it does not just "hang out there" but rather the weight of the Sony recorder is supported. Sony - please correct this problem. I was unable to find any solution. I do not need a new recorder, but am forced to buy one due to the problem with the slide out USB connector.

  • QuestionIS THERE A LAG BETWEEN START OF SOUND & START OF RECORDING ?

    Asked by Steve.

    • Answer NO LAG BETWEEN STARTING THE RECORD MODE AND THE SOUND BEING RECORDED. I OFTEN TURN MY RECORDER ON EARLY SO AS TO RECORD ALL THAT I MAY WANT TO RECORD. ANY DEAD SPACE CAN EASILY BE CUT FROM THE RECORDING, IF YOU CHOOSE. THESE RECORDERS HAVE MULTIPLE USEFUL FEATURES, SUCH AS THE ABILITY TO EASILY PUSH A BUTTON TO PLACE A MARK NEXT TO A PERTINENT SEGMENT OF THE RECORDING, WHILE IN RECORDING MODE. WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE RECORDING YOU CAN EASILY FIND THE MARK(S) AND FAST FORWARD TO THE MARK, WHEREAS THE ENTIRE RECORDING WILL BE VISIBLE ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN WITH MULTIPLE PLAYBACK FEATURES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. SONY HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB OF BUILDING IN FEATURES TO MAKE YOU DIGITAL RECORDER YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER.

  • QuestionWhat languages can it translate? Does it include Moroccan Arabic?

    Asked by Josie.

    • Answer The Sony Digital Voice Recorder is a recording device, not a translation tool. For translation tools, I suggest searching for a translation app for your cell phone. For example, Google Translate can translate Arabic to English. However, Moroccan Arabic is sufficiently different from Arabic in many Middle Eastern countries that you probably should look for an app that specifically translates that dialect. Note: the Voice Recorder does not have apps.
