Main Features q The DS-2000 digital voice recorder stores highly compressed DSS audio files on SmartMedia cards. q The DS-2000 supports two recording modes: SP (Standard Playback) mode and LP (Long Playback) mode (→ P.18). The included 8MB SmartMedia card records approximately 1 hours and 15 minutes* in SP mode and approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes* in LP mode. An optional 64MB SmartMedia card can hold up to 22 hours and 20 minutes* of recordings. q The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) reduces memory usage by turning the recorder off when it senses silence (→ P.24). q Recorded audio files can be stored in three separate folders for easy identification at a later time. q The LCD screen displays file numbers, a real-time counter, remaining recording time, current time and date, operating mode, and warnings in a clear format. q The editing capability allows you to insert additional recording into previously recorded audio files (→ P.29). q Accessories are available for transferring recorded voice data to a PC. In combination with IBM's ViaVoice speech recognition software (optionally available from IBM), the voice data can automatically converted to text. * The recording time available may be shorter than specified if a large number of short recordings are made. (Use the remaining time and recorded time only as references.) 4
