The Memory Stick media is a small, convenient flash memory device which is interchangeable with other digital devices including PC's and digital cameras. The ICD-MS515 comes with one 8MB Memory Stick and there are optional larger capacity sticks including 32MB and 64 MB sizes.

With the ICD-MS515 and the 8MB Memory Stick, you'll have up to 64 minutes of speech-recognition-quality recording time in standard mode.

The unique removable memory makes it possible to give your secretary or transcriptionist a full memory stick to be transcribed at a PC using a USB or Floppy Disk Drive Memory Stick Adapter. You can then slide a blank Memory Stick into your recorder and continue your dictation.

64MB Sony Memory Stick
(8 hour dictation capacity)
$95 Can., $64 U.S.*

Sony USB Memory Stick Reader/Writer (MSAC-US1)
$119 Can., $80 U.S.*
The MSAC-US1 is not recommended for use with Intel® Pentium 4 Computer Systems. The Pentium 4 was introduced by Intel after the MSAC-US1 was developed by Sony, therefore a hardware compatibility issue may occur under some circumstances.

Sony offers the WAVPedal Foot Controller and headset as an option so that transcriptionists can type while advancing and rewinding the recording with the footpedal. Recordings from the ICD-MS515 must be converted to 8-bit or 16-bit WAV format using the Memory Stick Voice Editor software the WAVPedal can play them back.

Some unique features of the ICD-MS515 include a playback edit function which makes it easy to correct your dictation on-the-fly, as well as incremental rewind to help locate specific passages in a recording.
