2,043 HOURS OF RECORDING TIME and multi format support With 8GB of internal memory and 2,043 hours of recording time, you’ll be able to capture notes, lectures, and more – and still have room to store documents. The device also features a microSD slot with the potential to hold up to 32GB of additional memory. You can record and play back in three standard high-function formats including PCM, MP3 and WMA.
New voice balancer function, voice playback function and voice changer function Voice Balancer adjusts voice levels to compensate for distance. This is perfect for interviews or meetings where one person’s voice might drown our others based on there the recorder is located. Voice Playback allows you to skip the non-voice portions of a recording and only playback the parts with recorded voices, making for more seamless recordings and easier to transcribe files. And voice changer function allows you to change the pitch of a voice. You can even adjust the recording level at will based on the volume of the recording subject to maximize the use of dynamic range.
Direct link to your Mac/PC With the "USB Direct" design, it is easy to transfer your files over to your Mac or PC. Just plug the recorder right into your computer for fast downloads – no cables needed. The USB also helps charge your battery at the same time. The microSD slot makes connection with PC’s even more convenient.
FM radio Users will be able to listen to and record radio through a built-in FM tuner.
Zoom Mic and noise cancellation New built-in algorithms realize more powerful directional performance. Works well when recording from a distant position or in noisy environments. The WS-803 also dampens or minimizes unwanted background sounds – so you record a clean, high-quality audio file.
Scene select function and calendar search function Wherever you are, whether it’s a conference room, large hall, or at home dictating, the microphones will automatically adjust to capture the best sound depending on your setting. The WS-803 allows you to set up to 99 index marks per file with peace of mind. Calendar Search Function allows you to easily search for files by date and play them back with ease.
