Smart recording functions make it even easier to achieve stunning audio results. The pre-recording & timer functions make sure you don’t miss a single bit. Voice-activated recording is a convenient feature for hands-free recording which pauses recording when you stop speaking & resumes automatically when you begin speaking again. Recordings can be edited by overwriting a part or adding a new recording at the end. Long recordings can be split automatically or manually into separate files for easier editing or sharing. Smart playback functions, such as bookmarks & filters, also make it easier & quicker to find the recording you are looking for. Control your audio recorder using your smartphone, even from a distance. The Philips Voice Tracer app makes recording events such as lectures much easier & more convenient. You can place your recorder in the front of the room near the speaker, take a seat at the back, & still control recording comfortably & without interrupting the lecture. The Philips Voice Tracer app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
