Digital recorder

[Gus]

I'm looking for a small (fit in your shirt pocket) digital recorder.
I know there are plenty of these around , Radio Shack etc..., but I'm looking for
something with additional features, maybe they all have these I don't know.

Looking for;

- ability to jump to specific recording i.e., not have to cycle thru the
whole recording list to get to where I want. (like having to rewind if it were a cassette)

- ability to transfer the recordings to a PC
- ability to print or convert recording to text
- good quality durability and price


Let me know your thought and what features or qualities to look for or avoid.

Thanks

I know of several authors and lawyers who use these types of products regularly, but I have no personal experience with them.

Speech Rec is getting pretty good IF you put the time in on the training and use a good quality mic. I've seen Dragon Naturally Speaking at work, and with the right tools and training it's a great product (ver 6 and higher), and I've heard good things about ViaVoice as well. One of these products should do what you ask for in your post.

Here's another user site:

Let us know what you find out!

Since the mic is important, I assume these
digital recorders are acceptable, since they sell them at the 1st site you listed.

Thanks
