Guest blog by Lauren Campbell.

Calling all wannabe writers and college students!

Have a dream to write a novel but can’t get the ideas down fast enough? Big board meeting at work and you’ve been picked to take the minutes? Or just wanting to give your teenager the best encouragement for a college course? Whatever your situation, there are always those times in life when we wish we could just rewind and remember something that had been said, something important that we just didn’t get down on paper in time.

Introducing the Sony ICDPX240 Voice Recorder, a lightweight, inexpensive device without the hassle of the dicta-phones of old. A purely digital device, the Sony voice recorder means no fiddly changing of tiny tapes that only records up to 15 minutes before they need turning over. Instead, the Sony Voice Recorder offers you up to 31 hours of recording time in one session. I don’t know about you but that’s more time than I plan to commit to a board meeting.

As a digital recorder the ICDPX240 gives you an MP3 format and accessibility to transfer files to a PC or laptop by USB connector, meaning you never have to buy more tapes or scrub previous recordings. Its internal memory can hold 4GB of information equating to 1043 hours of vocal notes and dictations ready for later transcription.

This handy little device comes with a large LCD panel screen, not only showing you your battery life, but also playback options, and a folder system giving you the option to organise, protect recordings and delete files from the device itself when without a computer.

And for such a little device the Sony packs a punch with a 300mW speaker, and a powerful built in stereo microphone meaning everything is in one place, no need for external speakers or microphones and headphones are optional!

Featuring large font and good-size buttons that make this little recorder a pleasure to use. It is durable and fits in the hand comfortably for those longer projects.

So whatever your need, the Sony ICDPX240 Voice recorder has it covered – and we’ll even throw in the batteries!
