Product Manuals

Q: can this put the recording into text when transferred to computer? if so, how?

A: Hello Susie, I bought this voice recorder in November last year (2018) for dissertation interviews the following month in December. Regarding your question, it is easy to transfer voice recording to your computer. However, you will need a transcribing software to change the transferred audio on your computer into a text. The Philips audio recorder itself does not change audio recording into text. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Good luck.

Q: Does it take sd card

A: Yes, it takes SD Card. I bought this recorder about 3 weeks ago. Although I did not insert SD Card because it has as high as 8GB, the SD Card slot is clearly on it. I hope I have answered your question. Thanks.

Q: what is the recording capacity time

A: The maximum recording time is 583 hours, that is when using a microSD card.

A: The recordings are date stamped, but not time stamped, The DVT2510 has date and time stamp.

DVR for EVPs
Compact, long battery life, really records well, just remember to kind of point to where you want to record for clarity. While not completely noise cancelling, it does a great job of reducing background noise. I got this of recording EVPs in case there were any where I was at.

Excellent Voice Recorder
This is the first time in my whole life that I bought a voice recorder. I needed it to record interviews I was preparing to conduct for a research study. Yes, it can be seen that arriving at a decision as to which to buy was very difficult because of three reasons: (a) there are cheaper ones available with lot of reviews, (b) I am a first time buyer so no previous experience to refer to, and (c) I need it for an important assignment, which is to record interviews for an academic work (research) so I wanted something that will not disappoint. After series and several days of decision making, I decided on this one although the price is twice of some of them. As a matter of fact, I am more than excited with the purchase. The battery life is more than excellent, you can record for several hours. The speakers are loud and the recording is very clear. Transferring recordings to a computer is as easy as drinking water. Please, if you decide to buy it, go ahead and you will love it. This is the longest review I have ever given on a product.

Good Starter Recorder
I bought this about 9 months ago when I got a job at a newspaper for interviews, meetings, etc. I wasn’t sure how useful it would be, so I went with one of the cheaper options, this one. It has been a lifesaver on more occasions than I can count. Ability to use a microsd card has been great, batteries lasted a few months at a time (granted I wasn’t using all day every day like college students recording lectures might, but for evening meetings and occasional interviews, the batteries lasted a while). I was even able to create a little loop to attach it to my keychain. However, today I am having to get a new one. About a month ago, the top half of the screen got stripey, like every other row on the screen was burned out. A bit harder to read, but manageable. Then the batteries started dying with no warning. Where before, the little battery symbol would slowly lower, then it showed fully charged but would be dead in 10 minutes. But I replaced the batteries and all seemed fine. Today came the final blow, however. I turned it on, and it’s not going past the start up screen. I can’t turn it on, I can’t turn it off. It’s just showing Phillips. I did not get the warranty, so I won’t be replacing with the same model. If you’re not sure if you need a recorder and want to try it out, I highly recommend but suggest you get the 2 year warranty, but if you know you’ll need it and use it for a long time, might want to go a bit higher end.
