Folder for messages recorded using the IC recorder

FOLDER01

FOLDER05
Folder transferred from your computer Conversation
The name of a folder in which music files are stored will be displayed on the IC recorder as it is, so it is convenient if you put an easy-toremember name on the folder in advance. Folders shown in the illustration are examples of folder names. *2 The IC recorder can recognize up to three levels of folders copied to the IC recorder, that is, up to OLDIES shown in the figure. *3 If you copy music files separately, they are classified as being in NO FOLDER.

MUSIC POP OLDIES *1

Tips You can enter title, or artist name, etc., into music files as ID3 tag information. The ID3 tag information can be displayed on the IC recorder. It is useful if you input the ID3 tag information using the software you use to make the music files on your computer. You can display the ID3 tag information in sequence by pressing or on the control button (page 79).
You cannot copy 511 or more folders (except VOICE folders) or files to the root directory that is located immediately below IC RECORDER on the computer. This is due to Windows system limitations (ICD-UX71/ UX81/UX71F/UX81F only). If no title, or artist name has been entered into the ID3 tag information, Unknown will be displayed.

Using Voice Recognition Software
When voice recognition software (not supplied) is installed on your computer, you can transcribe a message into a text file.
Introducing the voice recognition software
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a speechrecognition software application that allows you to recognize and transcribe your recorded voice in a message and convert it into a text file. For details on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, refer to the operating instructions supplied with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. For information on using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, refer to the documentation supplied with the software. For the latest version and information on the availability of Dragon NaturallySpeaking in each region, please refer to the following home page: http://www.nuance.com
You can use the transcribing feature only when you have installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking Select or Professional Edition (not supplied) on your computer. To install Dragon NaturallySpeaking, your computer should meet the specified system requirements. You can transcribe the following messages saved in your IC recorder or on your computer; ST, STSP, STLP or SP recording mode messages (MP3 files) 44.1/16/11kHz 16-bit WAV files saved on your computer You cannot transcribe a message recording the voices of more than one person.
Creating a user file adapted to your recorded speech (Training)

What is Training?

Before you can transcribe recorded messages using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you must create a user file specifically adapted to the sound of your recorded speech. This procedure is called training. When training is complete, Dragon NaturallySpeaking creates a user speech file containing information about your recorded speech. Refer to the operating instructions or the help supplied with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, as some parts of training are the same as those required for dictating directly to the computer using a headset microphone. Even if you have already created a user speech file with a headset microphone, you should create a separate speech file for the IC recorder to get better recognition accuracy.
Tips on using the IC recorder
When transcribing messages recorded using the IC recorder, the following tips will help you obtain maximum recognition accuracy. Set REC MODE to ST, STSP, STLP or SP in the menu. When creating a user speech file (training), set REC MODE to the mode you normally use for voice recognition software. Set MIC SENSITIVITY to LOW (L) in the menu. Hold the IC recorder firmly and start recording. Hold the IC recorder so that the microphone is about an inch (2 - 3cm) from the corner of your mouth, not directly in front of it. This minimizes the sound of your breath in the recordings, enabling maximum recognition accuracy. Note

Slide the HOLD switch in the direction of the arrow when the IC recorder is stopped (page 18). The HOLD switch is set. Slide the HOLD switch in the direction opposite that of the arrow (page 18). Remove the protective film on the display window before you use the IC recorder. The battery has been inserted with incorrect polarity (page12). The battery is weak (page13). The buttons are locked with the HOLD switch (page55). The volume is turned down completely (page36). Headphones are plugged in (page37). When you are listening to the FM radio, AUDIO OUTPUT is set to HEADPHONES. Set it to SPEAKER (page 65). If you plug in the headphones not securely during playback, the sound may come from the speaker. Unplug the headphones and then insert them securely. When you are listening to the FM radio, AUDIO OUTPUT is set to SPEAKER. Set it to HEADPHONES (page 65).

Error messages

Error message BATTERY LOWER-LEVEL Cause/Remedy
You cannot format the memory or erase all the files in a folder because of insufficient battery power. Prepare a new battery to replace the current one. Battery is exhausted. Replace the old battery with a new one. The remaining memory capacity of the IC recorder is insufficient. Erase some messages before recording. When there are already 99 messages in the selected folder or the total number of the file stored in the IC recorder becomes maximum, you cannot record a new message. Erase some messages before recording a message. You cannot play or edit messages, because the data of the selected file is damaged. The IC recorder cannot be turned on using the computer because there is no copy of the control file required for operation. Format the IC recorder using the formatting function in the menu. The IC recorder failed in memory access. Remove and then reinsert the battery. Save a backup copy of your data and format the IC recorder using the menu. Set the clock; otherwise, you cannot set the alarm. The selected folder does not have any messages. You cannot move a message or set the alarm, etc., because of this.
LOW BATTERY MEMORY FULL FILE FULL
FILE DAMAGED FORMAT ERROR

PROCESS ERROR

SET DATE&TIME NO FILE
Error message PAST DATE/TIME FILE PROTECTED

Cause/Remedy

You set the alarm when the time has already passed. Check it and set the appropriate date and time. The selected message is protected and is now a Reading only file. You cannot erase it. Cancel Reading only on your computer to edit the message using the IC recorder. The data does not have a file format which the IC recorder supports. You cannot move a message or divide a message, because there is more than one folder that has files with same name. Change the file names. A message in the folder cannot be moved or divided. You cannot divide messages not recorded using the IC recorder. The maximum recording message/music file size is 1 GB. When the recording message/music file size exceeds the maximum size limit, exceeded recording is recorded as a new message. If there are no MP3 files in the folder, no folders are displayed in the display window, therefore, the folder setting will be changed. When 30 FM stations have already been stored in the IC recorders memory, you cannot preset a new FM station. A system error other than the above has occurred. Remove the battery and re-insert it.
