There are various devices on the market for conventional audio recording of conferences. While outdated devices such as tape recorders and dictation machines have gone out of fashion, MD recorders and CD recorders have joined the old-fashioned cassette recorders and DAT recorders. Hard disc recording is also becoming more and more affordable. Quite apart from this hardware, however, the trend is now gradually moving towards software recording. Here you need a PC or a notebook, a microphone or USB microphone and the appropriate software – already the recording can begin.

MP3 Recorder Marantz

Probably one of the most popular recording devices of modern times is an MP3 recorder. Here, an audio recording takes place, for example, on a commercially available storage medium such as the CompactFlash card. Through a serial interface (RS-232C) or through an Ethernet interface (LAN/RJ-45), the more professional devices can be controlled and read out via PC, often a USB port is now also available for a data transfer.

DAT Recorder

While the DAT format had a hard time establishing itself in the consumer sector in the 1990s, this technology has managed to hold its own as a classic medium in studios and in the professional sector to this day, because it offers the advantages of a long playing time (of up to three hours) as well as lossless, uncompressed and also high-quality recording.

Software for protocol and recording – stenos-s

steno-s 4

The steno-s transcription software is a powerful tool for audio recording at conferences, meetings or in the courtroom. With steno-s, the recorded material can be optimally managed and archived through various functions such as markers, integration of media files (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and comments.

With steno-s, you can easily access individual content even after your meeting. Resolutions, comments or questions are identified by markers in the recording and can thus be easily listened to again to create the minutes. For paperless archiving, simply burn your recording to CD or make the data available on your network.
