TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The iRiver comes with free software to transfer recordings to and from
a PC or Macintosh as MP3's.
The 1GB capacity model will record high-quality stereo for hours; it
has a built-in microphone, but the addition of the external stereo mic
works great on a conference table. The mic is tiny; the recorder is
approximately the length and width, and twice the thickness, of a
standard pack of chewing gum.
The basic technique is this -
Set up the iRiver to record in "External Microphone mode"
Plug in the mic
Set desired recording quality (I suggest Stereo, 44Khz, 96 kbps for voice)
Record the event
Transfer to your computer for playback
With the addition of an editing program (such as the free software "Audacity" - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - works on Windows, Mac OSX) you can
also edit recorded files on your computer.
