4.1 Recording Modes

The SR1 offers several preset recording modes optimized for different environments:

• STT Boost: Optimized for speech-to-text conversion, reducing ambient noise and enhancing speech clarity for accurate AI transcription. Recommended for lectures, meetings, and interviews.
• Vocal Boost: Provides professional voice isolation by aggressively suppressing environmental noise (up to 30dB reduction) and focusing on human voice frequencies. Recommended for podcasts, voice memos, and noisy environments.
• Hi-Fi: Captures full-spectrum sound (20Hz-40KHz) without filtering, preserving true-to-source audio. Ideal for music recording, ambient sampling, and ASMR.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the device frequently. Charge it regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
• Software Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

6. Troubleshooting

• Device not powering on: Ensure the device is fully charged. If the issue persists, try a different charging cable or adapter.
• Poor recording quality: Check the selected recording mode (e.g., use STT Boost for speech, Hi-Fi for music). Ensure microphones are not obstructed. Consider using an external microphone in noisy environments.
• Inaccurate transcription: For offline transcription, ensure clear speech and minimal background noise. For post-recording transcription, select the correct audio language. Online AI services generally offer higher accuracy.
• Cannot connect to computer: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected. On the device, select 'MTP mode' when prompted for USB connection type.
• Screen unresponsive: Try restarting the device. If unresponsive, press and hold the power button for an extended period (e.g., 10-15 seconds) for a forced restart.
