A USB cable is required for importing audio from your voice recording onto a computer.

Olympus has a wide range of different digital voice recorders, all of which record directly onto an internal flash drive. This allows you to record content on the go, without changing tapes. With the provided USB attachment, you can export the recording directly onto a computer. Saving the recorded files onto your computer and consequently erasing the files from the Olympus flash drive allows you to record more content and gives you the ability to categorize your recorded information.
