Choose a setup that suits your recording
Intelligent Auto Mode adjusts microphone sensitivity to the sound level. Recording-scene presets simplify setup, while the low-cut filter helps reduce low-frequency background noise. The built-in stand supports tabletop use.

Find and revisit useful moments
Calendar search helps locate recordings by date. Auto Index adds markers when sound resumes after a sustained quiet period, and manual index marks let you highlight important points. Voice Balancer, playback noise cancellation and adjustable speed make reviewing recordings more comfortable.
Move files to your computer
The retractable USB connector connects to a compatible Windows PC or Mac so you can copy, organise and share recordings through your computer.
Build your recording setup
Ask VoiceX about microphones and playback or transcription software for your WS-882 workflow.

WS-882 recorder, two AAA alkaline batteries and documentation.
Computer connection
Record and play back on the recorder, then transfer saved files to a compatible Windows PC or Mac using the built-in USB-A connector. USB-C-only computers need a suitable USB data adapter.
The manufacturer lists Windows 8.1, 10 and 11, plus macOS 10.12–10.15, 11, 12 and 13. Check compatibility before using a later macOS release. VoiceX does not provide Windows 10 support; this is a support policy rather than a claim of hardware incompatibility.
Files and recording workflow
Choose software that supports the selected MP3 or PCM/WAV format for playback or transcription. USB transfers recorded files; for live computer microphone input, ask VoiceX about a suitable USB microphone.
Power and accessories
- The WS-882 uses replaceable AAA batteries. Its USB connection does not charge batteries.
- Use the dedicated 3.5 mm microphone input for a compatible external microphone and the separate earphone output for listening. Confirm the microphone model and wiring before purchase.
- Choose a compatible microSD/microSDHC card up to 32 GB and format it in the recorder before use, after backing up any files.
Make a test recording before an important session and check applicable recording-consent requirements.
