I have a brand new Axim X5 300. When trying to explore the new toy I found out that it produces a very poor quality of audio record (build in mic is used).

I will appreciate any help. Can Axim normaly be used for audio recording? I know that Sony Cleo can serve a dictophone. What level of audio recording performance should I expect from Axim?

Thanks.

Audio quality is a hard subject to judge when not using professional equipment. In this case, we are using a built-in microphone on a PDA. Definately not professional. The Axim microphone is designed to record messages, not CD quality music or anything else of the such, remember that. On the other hand I'd have to say that a good portion of the quality is due to user operation. If you hold the PDA so close to your mouth the odd passer-by is wondering if you are eating a silver object, chances are your audio isn't going ot be that clear, same goes for recording across the room. I recomend that you hold the Axim at a distance you would normally use it from, as if you were writing on it. This will give you some of the best results. Of course people vary, as do their voices and you will need to do some of your own experimenting. Just remember that if you can understand the words that are being spoken in the recording, the microphone and PDA are doing their jobs. Don't expect too much, you didn't buy a recording studio. :blink:

Cherub, thanks a lot! I do not expect to get CD quality. If I record myself in a quiet room, holding the Axim on a distance I use for writing, I can recognize the words on a maximum volume. Is this the maximum performance I should expect? Can't Axim be used, say, to record lectures or meetings?

Thanks again.

I have taken my axim into lecture halls and recorded long lectures with it, but sadly you are limited by size of ram, so i would record for about a min or two and then wait for a pause, copy the data over to the SD and then start again. Maybe someone has a hack for the default save location for the Audio? If so please post!
