This summer, Norris Communications will release its 3-ounce Flashback digital voice recorder, which holds 30-minute SoundClips that act as a type of voice work processor, allowing users to insert a recording without erasing existing material. Unlike in a tape recorder, the clips can't be damaged, and pushing the fast-forward or reverse buttons allows a user to go quickly through a recording without turning voices into gibberish.
