Digital voice recorders are also available in electronics stores in Japan, including ones that save sound files in .mp3 format for recording podcasts on the go. All sorts of applications can therefore be imagined for education as well as entertainment, in the classroom or out, online or offline.
Digital voice recorders are inexpensive and effective, and Palm software-based handhelds are a hundred times more flexible, even if they are short on storage. But what would require so much storage in the first place? Digital voice recorders are the solution for busy business people, medical personnel, laywers, podcasters, writers, composers, and students who want to record notes, meetings, and ideas without the fuss and bother of tapes. Some are used to record telephone conversations or conferences for accurate recall.
