Sony's ICD-TX50 voice recorder allows you to capture those spur-of-the-moment thoughts without spoiling the lines of your sharpest business suit. 6.4mm thin and weighing just 50g, the ICD-TX50 is the slimmest ever voice recorder from Sony. It's designed to impress in the boardroom with high-gloss looks accented by an OLED display. For extra security, there?s an integrated clip that secures the recorder when it's slipped into a shirt pocket.

Interviews, voice memos and more can be recorded as CD-quality Linear PCM or MP3 files. There?s a choice of five Scene Select modes - including 'Shirt Pocket', 'Meeting' and 'Interview'. The device has also 4GB of on-board and a three-minute top-up via USB gives power for around an hour's recording. Fully charged, the built-in lithium ion is good for an uninterrupted 24 hours record/playback time (with MP3 files).

The ICD-TX50 also makes a handy music player while you're on the go.

The recorder also comes bundled with Sound Organiser software (PC only) that simplifies transferring, editing and managing your files. It?s also fully compatible with the latest Dragon Naturally Speaking Speech recognition software for 'hands-free' transcription of your recordings.

Sony further expands its range of digital voice recorder this Spring with more new models. The updated ICD-UX series (ICD-UX522 & ICD-UX523F) now sports even smarter looks with an angled pair of stereo microphones. The desktop-styled ICD-LX30 features large buttons, a display and 330mW speaker.

The new range of digital voice recorders by Sony is available in Europe from mid-April 2012.
