Recording Mode

11,025 Hz Mono, 8-bit nominal. This provides excellent intelligibility, while minimizing file size (approx. 1 MB per minute). “Save as TrueSpeech” feature from the main file menu allows conversion of any playable .WAV file to DSP Group’s compressed .WAV format, with a resultant 15:1 (typical) savings compared to a standard 11KHz 8-bit mono .WAV file. Resultant compressed .WAV file has excellent playback quality and will play on any Windows 98/NT4.0/ME/2000/XP platform without special software or hardware (DSP Group’s CODEC is native to Windows).
