would this set up work well for recording an audio book?

I think so. the recording is clear and with the right setup in the room it has minimal noise. I've recorded teasers from some of my books with it and they sound fine

This is exactly what you would want. You may want to download a program similar to Audacity from the internet though.

Yes! As the others have said this will work for recording an audio book. I was actually quite surprised when I heard how clear the sound of a recording was.

Yes, though I doubt it will be high-quality. It works great on my class lectures. Check for copyrights first, and watch out for the battery life of the recorder, then go wild.

It could be - I'm not sure about the sound quality in terms of what you may be looking for. It's not really meant to play as a "boom box" or similar. It's really just for voice note recording. I have it because decades ago, I had a few overseas penpals and we used to make voice tape letters for each other, and I wanted something inexpensive to play it. Then I used it to record some songs I was writing just to remember how the tunes went for later. It's a really basic device. So, it could work for your intentions, if you had the right jack, but I don't know how the sound quality will be. (:

It should work just fine. The microphone pickup quality is very good so dictation should come across nice and clear.

Yes, it works OK for recording but you have to make sure you do it in a place without any noise since the mic picks up any sound around it... Where I have my system there is an old computer about 15 ft. away from mine and I can hear it in the recordings I have done. I guess the best would be to have it in a sound proof room.

I would think so. I have used my unit in professional recording for a radio broadcast. However, I cannot speak to how well the microphone can record sounds from a distance.

Yes, it should work quite well if you get all the settings correct (in the Control Panel Sound app make sure the "Recording" tab has the "Line" setting turned on).

I plan to use with my Canon DSLR. I am not sure if is good enough for studio voice over recordings.

Should be ok. I have recorded vinyl to PC. Most important is the audio software capabilities

I tried recording from about 12 feet away and it did pick up the sound, but it was at low volume and I recorded in a quiet room. I suspect that in a lecture it would pick up lots of background noise. For your requirement I think you'd be better with a dedicated voice recorder, and perhaps one with a directional microphone.

Hello, I did not try it specifically for audio books. It should work any mp3 or wma file.

I would suggest this one for recording in a pub but in the event it fails for that purpose then make sure you can return it right back like I was able to. I had high hopes for this kit but it picked up too many background noises too well for my purpose. There is a risk you could pick up too many background noises in a noisy pub as well.

I am not sure how well it would turn out. The sound would probably be a bit tinny. When I consider the price, the sound is great. But we only use it to make our school book drop a cool experience :) I have a voice recorded that sounds real enough...................

I used it strictly for recording study lessons, and it worked well it is an excellent recorder. you may find what you're looking for at Tmart, and they're having a big sale right now on voice recorders/mp3.

I was digitizing low quality cassette tape to MacBook files. It worked well for that. I don't know how it'll work for high quality sound. Sorry. My gut feeling is it would do fine but.....

Yes use overdub and equalizer to tone your voice do sound check first then record=good product

Yes. It should work with portable audio recorders just fine. You probably need an adapter though. Good luck with it.
