Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICD-SX700D Digital Voice Recorder with Voice Operated Recording
Customer Review: Great upgrade from the earlier models
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been looking for a device like this, and based on reviews had it narrowed down to the ICD-MX20DR9 and the ICD-SX68DR9. But seeing that Dragon Naturally Speaking was already out in version 10, it seemed odd that Sony hadn't updated the recorders to operate with the new software release.
Well, Sony did one better. Not only does the ICD-SX700D feature the Dragon version 10 software (recorder edition, not the full), but the device itself overcomes many of the criticisms of earlier models. You can see all the specs for yourself and see what I mean.
Another source of my earlier hesitation to buy a Sony stemmed from criticims of the documentation accompanying this model's predecessors; users reported having virtually no information about the Dragon software, and having to spend hours on hold with tech support trying to get the device and transcription software to work properly together.
I confess that I would greatly welcome some documentation from Nuance about the codes and special language one can use when recording in order to accelerate accurate transcription.
Nevertheless, I found it was a fairly straightforward thing to get this up and running. (1) First install the Sony software on your computer, (2) then install the Dragon software on your computer, and (3) recite and record your choice of reading passages given you by the Dragon software. Then, (4) transfer your recording from the ICD-SX700D to your computer (using the Sony software), convert it into a transcription again using the software, and watch it type away in the word processor. With time, you'll grow comfortable enough with the device to begin using the special transcription codes.
