Description: Digital voice recorders are an important tool for journalists, job interviewers, legal and other professionals looking to create a clean, clear, lossless recording of them and others speaking. But in order to do that, the voice recording device has to be fitted with fast, high-capacity, highly durable storage to ensure it has all the space and speed it needs to create the recording and copy it off-device when needed.
Body: Even if smartphones might be able to do the jobs, there are still core needs for standalone devices. Digital cameras are still the preferred tool of professional photographers, and writers still need full size desktops and laptops. For legal professionals, journalists, and job interviewers, a digital voice recorder can be an invaluable tool, and the latest versions of these are some of the most impressive yet.
But as capable as they are, a next-generation of voice recorders will need to offer even more storage capacity, faster data transfer speeds, and greater data security. That’s where BIWIN Technology’s high-performance eMMC 5.1 low-power storage is ideal. For expanding storage, BIWIN also offers fast SD and microSD cards, as well as pioneering a new storage medium in MiniSSDs, which has captured so much attention in the portable gaming market. And the next-generation ePOP5X shows what ultra-fast, modern embedded storage can do in a highly compact packaging like smart glasses.
What Voice Recorders Need
Although the microphone and audio processing chips are integral components in a voice recorder, storage is the central pillar around which the device operates. High capacity, high-performance chips like BIWIN’s eMMC 5.1 embedded storage enable the recording of thousands of audio clips in compact device, with capacities up to 512 GB. It leverages a 3D TLC NAND for the flash storage, and an SLC cache for improved performance.
Sequential read and write speeds are industry-leading, so voice recording devices can continually record for lengthy periods without interruption– and once you want to get the recordings off device, it can transfer smaller clips in seconds. BIWIN eMMC 5.1 supports the advanced eMMC 5.1 standard, with High-Speed 400 (HS400) DDR Mode for enhanced performance during operation.
Voice recorders need to be portable, too, and highly responsive. Fast storage helps get the recording started when the user needs it, and with a compact design, it can be built into the most diminutive of voice recorders – perfect for on-the-go recording.
Voice recorder battery life is most influenced by its audio processing and built-in battery size, but using efficient storage can go a long way to enhance it. BIWIN’s eMMC 5.1 is low power consumption by design. Combined with optimized firmware, it enables strong performance throughout the entirety of a single charge.
Reliability at its Core
When someone uses a voice recorder, it’s because they take that recording seriously. The audio data that device records is important and it deserves to be protected by strong, secure storage. BIWIN’s eMMC 5.1 leverages proprietary firmware algorithms that give buyers deep control of the storage architecture. That allows for enhanced security, increased device longevity, and gives manufacturers the ability to fine tune their devices to their desired specifications.
Voice recorders and their storage need to be reliable under a range of conditions, too. BIWIN’s high-performance storage is durable, and capable of operating at peak efficiency and performance even under demanding environmental conditions, while safeguarding the data to avoid corruption.
Listen to the Future
Voice recorder designs can take full advantage of BIWIN’s powerful and dependable eMMC 5.1 storage today, but there are more capable and advanced options available for high-end next-generation devices.
BIWINs ePOP5X embedded storage combines high-performance low-power DRAM with advanced storage in an even-more compact design, for more small-form-factor smart devices and wearables, including voice recorders. These highly efficiency designs are built to offer incredible performance at a low-power draw, enabling a next-generation of portable devices of all shapes and sizes.
