Operating Modes
The TIMMKOO SR1 offers several specialized recording modes to optimize audio capture for different scenarios:
STT Boost Mode
Optimized for speech-to-text conversion. This mode reduces ambient noise and enhances speech clarity, making it ideal for lectures, meetings, and interviews where accurate transcription is crucial.
Vocal Boost Mode
Provides professional voice isolation by aggressively suppressing environmental noise (up to 30dB reduction). It focuses on human voice frequencies (300Hz-3.4KHz), making it perfect for podcasts, voice memos, or recording in noisy environments.
Hi-Fi Mode
Ensures true-to-source audio preservation. This mode captures full-spectrum sound (20Hz-40KHz) without filtering, maintaining original acoustic characteristics. Recommended for music recording, ambient sampling, or ASMR.

Advanced Recording Features
Scheduled & Auto Recording
The SR1 supports two automated recording modes for hands-free operation:
- Scheduled Recording: Set a specific time for the device to start and stop recording automatically.
- Voice-Activated Auto Recording: The recorder will automatically start recording when it detects sound and pause when silence is detected, conserving battery and storage.

External Audio Input
For enhanced audio quality, the SR1 supports external microphones and Line-in audio input via its 3.5mm jack. This allows for clearer recordings, especially in challenging acoustic environments.

Exclusive Backup Feature
The SR1 includes a unique backup function that automatically creates a duplicate of your recordings during the saving process. This helps protect important audio files from potential loss due to storage device failure, ensuring your data is secure.
AI-Powered Text Processing
Leverage the power of AI with the SR1's integrated text processing features, all without subscription fees:
Offline Transcription
Convert speech to text directly on the device in up to 92 languages. This ensures reliable privacy protection as your audio files never need to be uploaded to the cloud.
