Sending a Voice Email
Talk and the Datexx DV8 digital recorder records the sounds in a special compressed
machine language that makes the voice files small and manageable.
It’s a brand new compression technology, developed by the Datexx R & D team,
specifically for the DV8.
During the process that transfers the DV8 files to your computer, the software will
automatically convert these files into
MP3 or WAV formatted files. This allows you
to send the recordings via Email using our special Email software (included).
You may elect to send the file as a
.WAV file or in the popular MP3 file format.
It works for the PC users, but is not designed for the Mac.
Transferring your Recording
Using the supplied USB cord, plug the DV8 unit into your computer.
NOTE: The connecting cable has a special connector for the
DV8 on one end. Your computer will also recognize the DV8 and
install the connection automatically.

The
.WAV file option takes approx. 4 times more memory to store and transmit than
the popular
MP3 compressed format. (Try small files, like 10 seconds to 3 minutes
to start with)
When sending longer voice emails, it is suggested you utilize the
MP3 format.
