Kris I just printed it on windows XP fine, partly as my printer config is still borked on ubuntu, btw why is it in US letter format, when most of the world uses A4 surely people creating these docs could create a US letter and a4 version, i just told it to print to paper size, i just need to cut the tabs now so people can pull off ( great idea that btw, seen it in Canada which is why i know why the bottom section is as it is) Paul Hang around in any UK university and you'll see lots of adverts for rooms to rent etc with the number to call on tear off strips at the bottom.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu compatible digital voice recorder
Hi Timothy, Thanks for the advice. I went with the Sony, as you mentioned. I'll have a look at transcription software and let you know if i come up with anything useful. Hopefully i can get something working natively in Linux. All the best and thanks again for the advice. James.

I haven't come across any compatibility issues with it. It's got good sound quality and, importantly, a USB port which hides away very neatly. When plugged in you can drag and drop sound files as if it were a normal USB stick. The battery life is good and it has 2Gb of memory. It's maybe a bit more expensive than other similar devices (around £80), but it seems to do the job very well. I mainly use it for writing articles and notes. The main thing missing from it is a decent rewind button whilst recording; once it's recorded you can't re-record the last few seconds if you've made a mistake. It sounds like that wouldn't be too much a of a problem for your sort of work. For transcription I use Express scribe software: http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/index.html. There is a free linux version, but I couldn't get it to work. However the windows version works well in wine. If you find a better open source alternative please let me know! Alternatively, the voice recorder itself has a playback function where you can slow down the speed for easier transcription, or you can play the recordings in any mp3 player (but without the ability to slow it down effectively in the ones I tried). At work I've used various olympus voice recorders, which have the advantage of a better rewind to re-record function. However, as you say I'm not sure what the compatibility is like and they tend to be a lot more expensive. I've also tried a Philips voice recorder (I can't remember which one) but it was a lot more fiddly to use and didn't have the inbuilt USB or slow playback functions. All the best with your work in Ethiopia, it sounds interesting.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu compatible digital voice recorder
Thanks very much for the advice on voice recorders - both personally and to the list. I have gone with the Sony ICD-UX200. James.
