Sound Recorder 3

[Paddymagee]

Hi All,

Im looking for some ideas on how to do the following project

I want to record a few different voice recordings and play them back. There will be 4 recordings in total. 1 x 5 minutes, 1 x10 minutes, 1x 15 minutes and 1 x 30 minutes.

The recordings will be made once and stored (somehow). By pressing a button the user can select the 5, 10, 15 or 30 minute recording.

I am hoping that there is some form of voice recording module that I can be controlled with a PIC. It needs to be "professional" looking so I cant just hack up a tape recorder.

I have no problem doing a user interface, power supply or sound output. I just cant find a sound recorder module that will record anything over 30 seconds - any ideas anyone.

Thanks in advance.

If the user is going to already be using a computer then you could just hook a mic up to the soundcard. There are many programs out there that will let you record. Windows even has one built in. If not, then there are about a million voice recording devices out there for making personal messages. You would just need to find one with enough memory to record your long messages.

Would any of these parts help?

I checked out the bpe solutions site and this is almost what I am looking for. They have a maximum of 8 minutes recording time so I will see if I can do something clever with the control circuit.

Its a standalone project so there is no PC involved.

Thanks for all the help.

A Roland AR-200 digital message player/recorder might do the job. It records on 16 or 32 MB PCM cards. It also has discrete I/O which simplifies interfacing with a PLC.
