Hi Stacey, this will depend on the sampling rate and bit rate you use. a 1 gig card would give you roughly 3 and a half hours at CD quality. Taking the sampling rate down to 22050 hz but keeping the bit rate at 16 bit, which really should be fine for speech recordings, will give you around seven hours. \ Jonathan Mosen BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager HumanWare
