Does this come with software for recording? If not, is there a recommendation on what recording software works?

This is a Microsoft brand videocam so it works seamlessly in Windows. It comes with no software but the moment it is connected. You can use the native Microsoft Moviemake which is installed automatically with window to both record and then edit the video. Any software that needs a videocam such as Skype will also intantly make it a part of its video selection.

I haven't messed with the software that comes with it, but I recommend checking out iSpy. Free, and works very well with these camera handling motion detection and recording.

This mic does not come with any recording software. Once you plug it into your USB port and Windows recognizes it, it is ready to go. Sony puts out a decent, non-expensive, easy to use recording software package called "Sound Forge."

No. The simplest and best recording software (free) is audacity. Easy to use and works with this hardware

It does have. One thing I don't like is that it can record up to 30 minutes at a time. So if you want to record longer than that, you need to stop at 30 minutes point (or automatically stops) and restart the recording.

Hello Janay,The mic doesn't come with a recording software. Not sure what kind of sound card your computer comes with, however by you asking I think you may not have it built in.I use Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio V10, it is nice and simple enough to mix music with your voice recoding, it is worth the investment, I bought it from Amazon.You can also download a free software from Audacity.com and see which you like better. Sony does more for a reasonable price.Good luck and I hope this helps you.Samir Shamoun

No just video. I have found voice actived voice records work great. They are small and record up 120 hours some of the. Hope that helps

1) No. 2) It comes with the Audacity software, which is pretty good. However, I recommend downloading the latest (free) version as opposed to using the accompanying disk.

well, miss Jennifer, the one that i bought didnt even work. i couldnt make it record or even start to do anything. the handful of forums i found about this item said simply: either the software works for you, or it doesnt. so i wouldnt trust it. yes, its cheap and looks easy, but you get what you pay for, ya know? my advice, if you havent bought it alrady, dont waste your time or money. hope this helps a little. :)

Terris, I purchased the software to manage voice recordings made on a Sony digital recorder. Subsequently, I've used an earbud microphone/recorder (Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pick-up Microphone by Olympus) to make recordings of phone calls dealing with detailed instructions of how to handle tax matters. The number of options outside of my needs are numerous. Keeping in mind that I use the software to "edit" voice recordings off of a digital recorder and a couple of technical phone conversations, my guess is that you will have no problems with the software and will be please with it. Beyond this software, Sony has a number of higher end sound products that would allow you to do studio recording quality. Here's my suggestion: buy the software and play with it for ten minutes - record for 5 minutes or so and edit for the remainder of the time. My guess is that you'll be pleased enough to continue using the software. As your understanding of what your needs are and what offerings are available, you can step up. My version predates the current version and is on sale for $24. Spend $24 and give it a spin. What you do not want is to buy a full blown complicated software when you just want to record your book. In summary, I'm pleased since the software more than meets my needs and was very easy to learn to do what I wanted it to do.

It's plug and play as a device so you don't need special software. You just use it with whatever software you use to record

No. It records on micro SD cards. So add another $10 to $20 to the price depending on the size of the card you buy.

I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and record using software like Audacity. I presume you could plug it into any recording device with a microphone jack.

Yes.... Provided that you use the software that comes with the card. It gives you options of what format you want to record in.

Yes, it comes with software for you to convert your vinyl records to a digital recording. Installation and use are both fairly easy. It also plays like a "regular" record player.

No feature for recording. Recorders these days fairly reasonable though. Very good machine otherwise.

Does not record. You will need vcr or dvr if you want to record. I prefer dvr.
