BookSense XT – User Manual
8. Recording
Using the BookSense XT, you can record your voice, lectures, meetings, etc. The available
recording time is only limited by the free space in the internal flash memory or SD memory
that you are using.
You can also record from other audio players, like CD players, cassette players or personal
computers by plugging in the audio cable into the Microphone jack. You can select the
recording file format among mp3, wave, or DAISY files. The default file type is mp3.
Changing the recording file type is explained in section 9.4.
Note: If the battery goes down to level 1 while recording, BookSense says “Battery low,
recording process is terminated.” And if you try to record when the battery level is at 1,
BookSense says “Battery is too low for recording.”
8.1 Recording via the Internal Microphone
By default, the BookSense XT uses an internal microphone to record. To make a voice
recording, perform the following steps:
1) Press the RECORD button for more than 2 seconds while using a function other than the
radio. ‘start recording” is heard and the BookSense XT will start recording. Once you
start recording, the media, DAISY and Document Reader will stop playing if they were
being used.
2) To stop recording, press the PLAY button. ‘stop, play recording? Yes” is announced. If
you want to listen to the file you have recorded, press the PLAY, OK, or MENU button.
The BookSense XT will play the recorded file. After it is done playing the recorded file, it
will return to the function that you were using before you started recording.
3) When BookSense announces ‘stop, play recording? Yes”, and you do not want to listen
to the recorded file, press the LEFT or RIGHT button to change yes to no, and press the
PLAY, OK, or MENU button. Then the BookSense XT will not play the recorded file and
will return to the function that you were using before you started recording.
To pause the recording, press the RECORD button while recording. The BookSense XT
says “pause” and it will pause the recording. Press the RECORD button again and it will
resume the recording after BookSense announces, “Resume recording.”
The recorded file is saved in the RECORD folder automatically. The file name is
“year_month_day_time (hour minute second).mp3”. The number is increased every time you
record voices. If the record file type is set to wave file, the file name is
“year_month_day_time (hour minute second).wav”.
