Has voice activation for easy on/off recording. Dictation software to turn words to written text can be purchased separately online but does not come with. Most software I’ve found is either expensive or very faulty though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For turning sound into written words (with the ability to make corrections) I'd recommend using Trint. Just goto Trint.com and you can transcribe up to 7 files in a month. There is a fee, but you also get the ability to make corrections to the transcribed content (it highlights the words as they are spoken). For a free translation, you can also use YouTube--they work with video files, but you can work around that and get your audio file turned into a transcribed file--here's a video link for that process: https://youtu.be/bltDLL6-CbQ Keep in mind that no matter what method you use, you'll likely only get about 95% accuracy, even with good clean audio. So just plan some time for the editing. Have fun with it!!
