Store hours of high-quality audio with this Sony digital voice recorder.

- Voice-operated recording: Activates the recorder only when an audible sound is present, conserving space and eliminating soundless passages.

A: The recorder is set to use the "Built-in Memory" by default. You have to switch it to Memory Card. Select Menu, Select Memory, Select Memory Card.
Q: can you record without micro card inserted?
A: Yes you can record without an sd card. Personally I love this recorder. It is a good buy.
A: Hi Ann, The battery life can be last up to 62 hours depending on the type of recording. The memory card is always an option for back-up and additional memory. You always can transfer your recordings to a computer for safekeeping. You may refer to pages 121 and 143 of the link below for more information: https://docs.sony.com/release//Help_4595548311.pdf ~Ralph
A: Hi Steve, yes, you can directly record to a memory card and replace it once it is full. You may use microSDHC cards from 4 GB to 32 GB with this recorder. Yes, you may use a neck strap with this unit but the strap is purchased separately. Thanks, -Mark
Q: Can an external mic be plugged in and can audio be directly transferred to a PC?
A: Hi Kenm, Yes, you can connect an external microphone and transfer files to a computer. Kindly refer to pages 49 and 121 of the link below for more information: https://docs.sony.com/release//Help_4595548311.pdf ~Ralph
Q: does this device have the capability to transcribe to text on windows 10?
A: The device can't transcribe, but you can get the recording into windows through the USB. There are probably easier ways, but I used Microsoft Teams, opened a meeting with myself (meet now and just don't invite anyone else), shared my screen using the "share sound" button, turned on transcription, then played the file using Windows Media Player. It worked as well as MS Teams does to capture meeting notes.
Q: Will this recorder record a dog barking from 40 feet away?
A: This recorder will record something 40 feet away. Model Sony ICD-PX470
A: Yes it will. Make sure you choose the right *type* of recording, there are a few to choose from like music etc. Remember to keep the mics clear, don't have them covered or obstructed.
