Abstract

A portable voice recording device has a microphone for generating an electrical microphone signal representative of an acoustic speech signal, a memory device for storing a memory signal representative of the electric signal, and an output port controller for rapidly transmitting the memory signal to a remote device at a rate greater than the rate at which the microphone signal was generated.

Claims

1. A portable voice recording device comprising:

a microphone for generating an electrical signal representative of an acoustic speech signal,

memory device for storing a memory signal representative of said electric signal, and

an output port controller for transmitting said memory signal to a voice processing computer device at a rate substantially more rapid than the rate at which said electrical signal was generated.

2. The portable voice recording device of claim 1 further comprising a loudspeaker for generating an acoustic signal corresponding to said memory signal.

3. The portable voice recording device of claim 1 further comprising a chassis having a size and shape which allows said chassis to fit in a user'"'"'s hand, wherein said microphone, said memory device and said output port controller are all housed within said chassis.

4. A portable voice recording device comprising:

a microphone for generating an electrical signal representative of an acoustic speech signal,

memory device for storing a memory signal representative of said electric signal, and

an output port controller for transmitting said memory signal to a voice processing computer device at a rate substantially more rapid than the rate at which said electrical signal was generated,

a loudspeaker for generating an acoustic signal corresponding to said memory signal; and

a chassis having a size and shape which allows said chassis to fit in a user'"'"'s hand, wherein said microphone, said memory device, said output port controller, and said loudspeaker are all housed within said chassis.
