Transcribe a Sony ICD-UX570 recording from USB stick to study notes.
A two-hour lecture on a Sony ICD-UX570 comes back as text in about 4 minutes, and the first 20 minutes of your first recording are free. Plug the recorder's USB connector into a laptop, copy the MP3 or LPCM file, and drop it here; two hours uses 120 minutes of a $6 pack of 500.
Recorder to laptop to text
No cable, no app: the file is already on a drive.
Copy it off the recorder
The ICD-UX570 has a USB connector built into its body. Plug it into a laptop and it opens like a USB drive; find the recording and drag it into the box above. A file you saved to a microSD card in the recorder can be read the same way through a card reader.
MP3 or LPCM
MP3 keeps a two-hour lecture small, around 115 MB at 128 kbps and about 170 MB at 192 kbps. LPCM is uncompressed WAV, roughly 635 MB an hour at 44.1 kHz stereo, so the same two hours is about 1.3 GB. Both upload before a first pack, and both give the same text.
A run of seminars, priced
Twelve two-hour seminars come to 1,440 minutes, which the $12 pack of 2,000 covers with room for revision sessions. For a single lecture, the $6 pack of 500 holds about four of them. Minutes carry over to the next module; nothing expires.
Notes you can study from
Each recording comes back with chapters you can jump between, a brief with the thesis and takeaways, and the names, dates and figures the lecturer said. Students who asked questions are named in the summary and key quotes, so you can find the answer the room got.

FAQ
Sony ICD-UX570 recordings, explained.
How long does a two-hour UX570 recording take?
About 4 minutes of processing, at about 2 minutes per hour of audio. If you upload a whole week of seminars, they process side by side.
What does a run of UX570 lectures cost?
Each two-hour lecture uses 120 minutes, so the $6 pack of 500 holds four. Twelve two-hour seminars are 1,440 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000. On your first upload, the first 20 minutes are free.
Is an LPCM file from the UX570 too large?
No. Two hours of LPCM is about 1.3 GB, under the 2 GB that uploads before a first pack. One file can be up to 5 GB or 10 hours, so a full day of LPCM still fits once a pack is on the account.
My lecture was saved as two files. Do I need to join them?
No. Upload both and each comes back as its own transcript; the second starts its clock at zero. Join them in an audio editor first if you want one document and one set of chapters.
Which languages can lectures be in?
Any of 99, detected automatically, including Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Hebrew. A lecture that mixes English and Tagalog is handled in one recording.
What can I download, and is my recording private?
Every seminar downloads as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Lectures copied from the recorder are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
