The professional solution for recording and analysis of meetings, interviews and focus groups
Microcone® Recorder (Mac OS X 10.7+) is a companion application for the Microcone device. Together, they turn your Apple Mac or Macbook into a high-quality system for meeting recording, transcription, retrieval and analysis.
Innovative multi-directional digital microphone
Microcone® Recorder is designed for recording group meetings with the Microcone device. The Microcone® uses breakthrough microphone array technology to capture audio from up to six different recording directions – all within a single device. Each of Microcone’s hexagonal faces records high quality digital audio (48 kHz, 24-bit) from that direction and then sends it to your computer via USB. This multi-track capability distinguishes Microcone from other digital voice recorders which are inherently designed for single person dictation.Learn More about the Microcone
Designed specifically for recording groups
Designed to record small discussion groups (up to 6 individuals), Microcone® Recorder is a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution for professionals wanting to acquire, analyse and archive a large number of group conversations, such as meetings, interviews and focus group discussions. Simply place Microcone on a table, seat your participants around the device and start recording. When you need to record several people, Microcone is simply the best digital voice recording solution.
Integrated time-saving automatic annotation and transcription
Microcone® Recorder records each person to their own audio channel, along with a visual timeline showing when they spoke. During or after the meeting, you can tag key highlights as Important, Decision, Action or Questions. Afterwards, at the click of a button the tagged highlights of your meetings can be dispatched to the fully automated Nuance web service for fast turnaround approximate transcription (pay-per-use feature).
Intuitive interface to quickly find and review key moments
Microcone® Recorder allows users to search a database of meetings automatically indexed by conversation date, individual participant names or keywords. Users can quickly navigate to sound bites of interest using an interactive timeline of the conversation, a searchable transcript or time-tagged notes. Recordings and transcripts can also be exported in standard formats for easy integration with other software tools. More than just another digital voice recorder, Microcone Recorder is a unique system for creating and accessing your valuable voice recordings.Available Now
Microcone Recorder is now available from the Mac App Store. Microcone Recorder requires Mac OS X 10.7+ (Lion). Note that multi-track features in this application require the Microcone device, purchased separately.
