If you record in mp3 format,there should be no problem in doing so. There are many Mp3 recording software programs out there.

Live? There is a built in mic, and you can use it to record voice tracks, but i wasn't able to add any effect to it. Even so, that would be a loop. And not "live". It's a fun machine.

We bought several of these for the express purpose of recording wiring instructions on computers. First of all, let's make sure it does what you think it does. It is a microphone that you put in your ear. It hears both sides of the conversation. That microphone needs to plug into something which records. your computer can do that with software, as long as you plug the microphone into a microphone jack on it. Windows comes with "Sound Recorder", or you can download Audacity or any of a bunch of other applications. You may need to open the microphone properties and set the volume and boost all the way up to get reasonable volume on the recording.

If you have a memory card reader on your computer you don't have to have any software, you just plug the card in and copy the files off. GREAT recorder for speech. We recorded my 93 year old grandmother over thanksgiving just talking about life. 3 hours of priceless audio that was easily copied for all the kids, grandkids and great grandkids to keep.

The voice recorder is easy to use. You use the menu button or the scroll wheel to navigate to the 'voice' area. Then you just press record (on the side of the device). I liked the set up better than the items from creative labs. It was much easier to access. The sound quality seems pretty good, when listening to the recording from headphones. I was about 6ft away from my test subject, and I could hear everything nicely. If you are using it in a lecture hall, I would recommend putting it as close to the instructor as possible. I don't think an external mic is possible, but I could be wrong. There is only an input for headphones. I bought it for recording speech samples in people, and I think it'll do that quite well. It sounded much clearer than my tape recorder and was easier than the digital recorder I borrowed from someone.

I think there are a couple of ways you could do this if I'm understanding your question as "Can I capture on my computer an audio file of me giving a presentation?"1: Wear the headset, connect via Bluetooth to your iPhone or similar, start to record a Voice Memo (iPhone) and start talking. Email the Voice Memo file to yourself and store it on your computer.2: Wear the headset, connect the headset base station to your computer via the provided USB cord, start an audio recording application on your computer (there are many of these, some come with the OS, some are freeware, some have modest cost such as Piezo), hit the record button on the application and start talking.

I didn't buy it for recording. I bought it to play audiobooks on cd for my class. It was substandard.

Hello,Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

Yes. Download it as an mp3. Send it to the Cloud have your Transcriptionist have a Cloud account also and she can pull it from there.

The recordings can be repeated forever (with new AAA). They have to be recorded individually, if you want to change one you have to re-record all of them. I put the sound bites on my computer and recorded it from the computer to the device with the built in microphone before putting it in a stuffed bear. So I can record them in the future or change them. The quality of the recording is disappointing even when recorded in a quiet room but it worked ok for my project. I was hoping to be able to transfer the files over with a USB. That would have been better if the option existed. Hope this helps. The recordings can be repeated forever (with new AAA).

If you want to record lectures try the Sony TCM200DV which uses tapes. I used it for one of my lectures and found that using the tapes and storing them without needing to download into a computer was a breeze. All my friends who used the digital recorders had problems but this recorder helped me pass. If you buy the 90 min. tapes the machine can double the time. Sensitivity is excellent. It runs about $35 and there is even a more expensive $45 older model. I just labeled the tapes and if there was a lecture I wanted to hear again it was no problem. I know you are keen on the digital but to me, recording and then downloading into a computer was a drag. Aside from that if there is a problem with the computer your recordings are gone. I know this didn't answer your question but it might help.

I am not sure how well it would turn out. The sound would probably be a bit tinny. When I consider the price, the sound is great. But we only use it to make our school book drop a cool experience :) I have a voice recorded that sounds real enough...................

Hi Jean. I had my daughter expert help me. If you can play your VHS tapes on your computer, good job. If not, you transfer them to the machine on a SD or Sim card you buy, then the card goes into the computer. You have to have editing program if you want to slice, splice, and edit all your videos. My daughter has a Mac computer and she got it on the computer, but does not have the editing program you need. I agree with the other reviews in that sound is very distorted and slower than lips moving. My tapes are 20 years old though. Good Luck. It's a painstaking process, just like watching the video yourself, because it does not transfer at warp speed. Hope this helps. Hi Jean. I had my daughter expert help me.

Can this product do overdubbing--say, can you record piano and then go back and record voice over it? I didn't see anything about that capability in the product info.

Yes! We used an inexpensive headset with a microphone that plugged into the computer (USB connection)..My son did voice overs and was able to add background music.

Yes it can but you will need some recording software, I use audacity because it's free. Once you have downloaded and installed Audacity you will need to install LAME to export the files from Audacity in a MP3 format to replay on your computer. You will need a 1/4in to 1/8 in audio adapter ; plug the 1/8in end into the mic input of your computer and run the 1/4 in Audio cable that came with your Audio2000s from the adapter on your computer to the input on the Audio200s. There is a free tutorial that comes with the Audacity software it would be a good idea to review that if you have never used any recording software.
