Review


Previous versions of Sony's audio and voice recorders were helpful in recording voice and sounds. In previous version of Sony's recorder I experienced that when sounds and voices are recorded in flash or memory card than it can be transliterate it by using word processor software. But in new version of Sony ICD SX712D, latest features has made process of transliterate simpler compared to old models of voice recorders.
It has a feature of voice to print which converts recorded voice into text format. This removes the requirement to listen recorded voice to transliterate on paper. Printed copy of output text was easily transferred to my computer through USB port.

Sony ICD SX712D digital flash recorder has the ability to record any kind of sound in multi-MP3 format or linear PCM formats. I wanted an uncompressed and high quality sound file and Sony ICD SX712D produced it for me. There is a feature to select the bitrate of recorded voice and sound which ranges from 8 to 320 Kbps. I am addicted to 320 Kbps bitrate and 125 Kbps bitrate and Sony's new digital flash recorder converted a single voice file into 320 Kbps and 125 Kbps bitrate.

I am ready to bet that these facts will surprise you and I am sure you were not aware about it.  1.        Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri was the company commander of one of the companies of 23 rd Battalion of Punjab regiment which took defences in Longewala.
