It provides mixed results on my Treo 680, but then I'm learning that Treos can be very finicky devices. I may bite the bullet and reinstall everything to see if that cleans it up. http://www.audacityaudio.com/vfst.htm Their SD card education page is interesting. Audacity Audio seems to be very serious about SD card speeds for transcribing, but then their software may not be a well-written as mVoice.

Dukey you remind me of two things. First I've found that the transcription actually works better at a lower frequency like 16,000Hz. When I have tried to make it out, it didn't work at all. However, I had not yet thought about using one of my SD cards with a faster record rate. I typically keep my fast SD cards in my camera and run a couple of my spares through my Treo. However, it would make a lot of sense to try out a faster flash card in the treo for use with Mvoice and Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 preferred. I'll probably do a separate comparison or write up with a few different SD cards and see what happens. Thanks for the comments.

I wondered if DNS/mVoice/Treo would work OK together and you have shown it's indeed workable. I intened to combine DNS with my Treo 680 and mVoice 5.5.2. It's a bit obscure from the mVoice documentation what the optimal setting of mVoice is for DNS. The "tips" section says set mVoice for 16,000Hz but mVoice can go higher than that. There's some debate about the speed of the SD card - if you are recording directly to the card. But you've show it can be made to work. The newer Treos come with their own recording software and the next thing to do is to look into that aspect of the solution. Thanks for taking the time to show us this.
