A:AnswerThe Voice Recorder (ICDUX523BLK) has “Mic Sensitivity” option for clear recording from close distance. However, the recorder may not record anything when kept in a pocket as the Mic will be covered.
A:AnswerThe dictation that is recorded in the Sony ICDUX523BLK Digital Voice Recorder can be rewound to a specific point. If the Rewind button (<<) is pressed and held during recording, the recording stops and you can search backwards while listening to fast playback sound. After the Rewind button is released, playback starts from that specific point. If the Play/Enter button is pressed during recording, then the recording stops and the playback will start from the beginning of the recorded file.
A:AnswerThere is a speaker on the back of the unit, near the top, basically opposite of the LCD on the front. It's only about 5/8" across, but it's not bad. Way better than the speaker on an average mobile phone.
A:AnswerYes. It gets 5/6 "dragons" from Nuance. But be aware that this unit does not let you add/overwrite a recording. That is, once you say something, or hit stop, that's it. You can't rewind and record over, or append to a file. I found this especially frustrating during the training phase with dragon, because you are supposed to read the training material verbatim. I was interrupted on page 2, and I hit stop instead of pause, so I had to start over. I decided to spend the extra $5 and get the Sony ICD-SX712.
