Penny originally started using her Creative Muvo TX FM to record interviews. After making enquiries we went to Hi-Fi Corporation in Fourways and got this nifty little Speed-Link PDR3 Digital Voice Recorder, for R350. The model they sell requires a 9-pin serial port to connect to a PC, so we spent another R230 for a USB to Serial adapter. The software to connect the recorder to the PC is not bad, and the recording quality is great. There is even a simple lapel microphone, which seems to work pretty well. The instructions are clear and straightforward, and the overall design is pretty good.

The sound is stored in a proprietary '.128' file format, and the software can then convert it to a 128kbps 8kHz.wav file. It would have been great if it could do this as it transfers the data across the serial cable, to save steps in the process.

We then use WavePad to convert it into an MP3 file for storage and archiving. Update: I have posted a copy of the version 1.04. It's a.iso image created using freeware and most CD-writing software can burn it to a CD. The CD isn't much use without the device. Anonymous said. I also have purchased the PDR-3 but cannot get the cr rom to read on my computer. Also how or where do I purchase the USB adaptor in the UK.

The manufacturers website is not very helpful in this regard. Any idea if software is available for macs said. The software worked fine on Win XP and even works on Vista. I have no idea why yours didn't work. If it doesn't work in a day or so take it back and get a refund.

There are other recorders out there. Anonymous said.

But I misplaced the software (CD), so I cannot download recorded messages to my PC. Does someone know what it is called and where I could find it in Gauteng, RSA? Zondi@igd.org.za Riaz said.

I have just purchased the PD3 from HiFi Corp and it came with software, USB and 9 pin pc connector. I managed to download the file onto my laptop (using XP) and all of this for R450 is a real bargain. However, I'mnot sure what format the file is in, and would appreciate if somebody could help in the format conversion-not sure what format to use. Thank you Riaz said. You download the 'raw' format using the software, then convert it on the PC into.WAV files using the same software. I recommend using GoldWave to edit the WAV files and convert them into MP3 or whatever format you need. Goldwave can adjust the volume, filter noise, and so on.

I also have purchased the PDR3 Digital Voice Recorder and did not receive the CD with the box. Unfortunately I did not realize that until too late to return. Does anyone have the software I can download or email to me? My address is mpmclean1@gmail.com. Anonymous said. The PDR-3 is a wonderful unit. Comes with CD and excellent, printed Manual.
