I bought one of the "refurb" recorders for a few bucks (hopefully they upgraded the firmware), and with the information here had everything up and running in Ubuntu (Linux) in just a few minutes. By associating the .VOC file extension with "devoc -p" in Nautilus I can just click on a file and it plays. <br /><br />Most of my use is just for memos, so given the capability of playing the more compressed format on the PC I imagine I'll just delete them once the information is preserved, probably not much need to convert to other formats (permanently), though that's simple enough.Robert T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15474950808231327510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34530823.post-65602049598572040322009-04-03T21:51:00.000-04:002009-04-03T21:51:00.000-04:00Someone,I have all of the .voc files on my compute...Someone,<BR/><BR/>I have all of the .voc files on my computer.

If so, I would first suggest the webpage linked to on Dave Coffin's site. See the sources at the bottom of the original post. I have updated them to link to the webpage. That way you don't have to worry about the correct command. If that doesn't work, the other way is to use the windows program that came with the recorder. If you don't still have it, I put a link to the program in the sources as well. Let me know if either of these options work.Someonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013863400084298828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34530823.post-6715553826677513312009-03-29T22:07:00.000-04:002009-03-29T22:07:00.000-04:00The devoc program was helpful, but it recovered on...The devoc program was helpful, but it recovered only 1 out of 3 files.

You already have compression artifacts from VOC format -- recompressing with a different algorithm only adds more artifacts.<BR/><BR/>The lack of a batch mode in the RCA software hides the fact that it's much slower than devoc. It calls subroutines for even the simplest tasks, like adding or subtracting two numbers.<BR/><BR/>I've had one serious failure with this device. A two-hour interview with my aunt played the same 10-minute loop again and again. I'd already deleted the VOC file, but hadn't recorded anything else, so I raw-copied the whole RCA memory to my hard drive, wrote a brute-force algorithm to match each block to a VOC file on my hard drive, and recovered the entire interview. Now I play it safe by zeroing and reformatting the memory before any important recording.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34530823.post-47170562685667030032009-03-10T16:09:00.000-04:002009-03-10T16:09:00.000-04:00I had been frustrated like everybody else.

Then I found the windoze executable and voila, it works. Then the hint by Anonymous for the built-in wav conversion came right on its heels. The devoc-produced wav is over three times as big as the one from the built-in utility, at least on my first test file, but they sound the same. I'm glad to have both options.Moebius Velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785330026865224117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34530823.post-72861703453435927972009-02-24T21:29:00.000-05:002009-02-24T21:29:00.000-05:00Thanks!

I failed to...The correction from Someone is right. I failed to mention that I was running the other OS, when I tried the executable version of the "devoc" utility. I apologize for the oversight.<BR/><BR/>But let me correct one important thing, which, in the spirit of "TMBH", is relevant to anyone who uses the RCA device, regardless of OS. The "might as well..." comment is incorrect, though I do not fault Someone for not knowing it. This was and still is the point of my addition to this attractive and aptly-titled blog page: DAVE COFFIN'S "DEVOC" CODE READS AND CONVERTS RCA VOC FILES, EVEN WHEN THE RCA SOFTWARE DOES NOT. PERIOD.<BR/><BR/>With "devoc", I have recovered multiple, irreplaceable files which, for whatever reason, I could not get to even pre-load for play, never mind play or convert, using the RCA software. The files were present, but somehow corrupted through no deliberate choice I had made. The result was an error message and the imprisonment of otherwise intact audio data on my hard drive. I tried multiple releases of the RCA DVM software to no avail. All code provided by RCA flatly failed. The "devoc" code, on the other hand, effortlessly did the recovery and conversion of the otherwise lost material - with the added benefit of wild-card (batch) processing! Whether recovery is an unintended functionality of the code or not, I am so grateful.<BR/><BR/>Considering how widespread the problem with the RCA products (if web discussions are any indication), I think the facts in my experience go beyond the OS used to accomplish the task, and I just wanted to share that glimmer with fellow Linux (or other OS) users who hit this page in the desperate search for a means of recovering and converting audio data important in any critical context. If the compiled version of "devoc" run under XP is based on the same source as is provided for the rest of our OSs, then "helpful" is an understated description of the utility to which this page links.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for setting-up this blog. It has, indeed, been helpful to me.

The executable will not work with linux (unless it works with wine...maybe). Therefore, you still have to go by the directions posted here to get it working or use the website listed at the top of this post to convert a file. I agree that devoc is a great tool, however, I have found that if you have an appended file (one that you recorded, stopped, and then added some more), you may have some problems with devoc. Therefore, if you have windows on your system, you might as well use the program that cam on your RCA recorder or download it from the RCA website.Someonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013863400084298828noreply@blogger.com
